Rivalry in the Bone Wars
This chapter explores the fierce and competitive rivalry between two 19th-century paleontologists, Othniel Charles Marsh and Edwin Drinker Cope, amidst the backdrop of the Bone Wars. While their shared passion for paleontology initially brought them together, the relationship quickly devolved into sabotage and scandal as they sought to outdo one another. The narrative highlights their contributions to the field against the intense personal conflicts that ensued, illustrating how competition can drive scientific progress but also lead to destructive outcomes.
