1663-German physicist Otto von Guericke pieces together bones from different species to make a fossil "unicorn."
1672-1673-A German society of scholars reports that dragon bones have been found in the caves of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania. (The bones probably really belong to a bear.)
1705-A giant fossil tooth is found along the banks of the Hudson River. It will initially be identified (by Cotton Mather) as that of a human giant who perished in Noah's flood, then correctly identified (by Georges Cuvier) as that of a mastodon.

Things you should know about this site
This is not a comprehensive history of paleontology or biology, nor is it the result of systematic research. It's not the work of a professional scientist, educator or historian. It's just an eclectic collection of old illustrations and information.Although this site focuses more on the history of science than on evolution, it treats evolution as a scientific fact, not "just a theory."
