Jefferson's Old Bones

Summary by Ground News
Thomas Jefferson was fascinated by the American mastodon, the elephant relative that he referred to for many years as the mammoth.

Historians have often called Jefferson the father of American vertebrate paleontology. George Gaylord Simpson argues that Jefferson's actions were not sufficiently scientific.
