Their cultural origins are in Europe and Europeans many thousands of years ago were already creating beautiful cave paintings. and those are our people.

So if you go to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, it was founded in 1870 or so, there are reproductions of European cave paintings to create a kind of cultural affinity between America's ruling classes and the fine art of Europe.

It tends to be accidental. People are not in search of fossils because they don't know that they're weird and interesting. Fossil just means from the ground. It doesn't imply old until the late 19th century. So they're just minding their own business. They're farming. They're digging for coal. They're just going about their daily life in the 19th century.

So for example, one of the first people to find fossils is Thomas Jefferson. He's the great naturalist founder. And he finds these mastodon bones. These are these ancient elephants with tusks. And he displays them at his house at Monticello. Part of the reason he sends the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific in 1804 is to say, bring back one of those Macedons, but bring it back alive.

He imagines that there must still be a live Macedon roaming around the earth. Because they're just beginning to think through the idea of extinction. That's another idea we take for granted today. Extinction wasn't even formulated until around the year 1800. And the reason is because they imagine this loving God who... creates all these creatures and then never uncreates them.

Every fossil we find must have some living analog around the Earth because why would the loving creator God annihilate Tristan? He created Tristan, why would he make you go extinct? The Macedons must have a living analog. That is what they are thinking initially about some of these ancient creatures that they're finding.

But yeah, it's really the industrial revolution, the digging very deep in the earth for coal and other kinds of fuels that leads them into these weird lost worlds of trilobites and all kinds of things that today, many of them have British names like the Devonian and the Cambrian because the British were doing the same thing.

But I always say the industrial revolution and the dinosaurs went hand in hand because one would not have happened without the other.
