Anyone been watching it?

I'm fasinated about how things have evolved, but when they start going on about how they lived / ate / shagged etc. and tell little stories, I think it goes a bit too far. How the hell do they know they did that?

For me, tell us what lived when and a rough idea what it looked like, but drop the stories.

I've only watched one, but seemed quite interesting. I think they just guessed at alot of the stuff, like how they act etc.

from what i remember, thing like bone structure, marks on the surface (stryations? which should where ligaments etc attached) point strongly to the animals physical nature, from there you can get a rough idea of speed and range of movement (borrow a med students skeleton - you'll see!)

it's teeth would show food types, was it found alone or in a group? some like the velociraptor were found in groups, showing a social system. there was one docu where they uncovered a new mum next to her nest, and another with the remains of the eggs in her lower abdomen.

yes there's a lot of guesswork, colour and sound spring to mind, but i'm sure there's also a lot of legwork and deduction from what is found to paint a fairly good picture
