The Brain Scoop:
Paleoart: Painting the land before time

Maybe you’ve heard of the famous paleoartist Charles R. Knight– but what about John Conrad Hansen, or Maidi Wiebe? The latter two created numerous works of art for scientific publications, exhibits and children’s books for the Field Museum in the early- mid 1900′s. 

I spent the last eight months digging up any information about them I could find for this video. I hope you enjoy!
