| Summary: | |
| A mysterious find in a Madagascar may shake up everything we know about ancient human life! A group of paleontologists has discovered an ancient human skull in proximity to a dinosaur fossil, prompting some in the public to ask if dinosaurs and humans coexisted. To prepare for their upcoming appearance on the Oprah show, the scientists need to get their data in order and decide whether or not the two specimens are from the same time period. | |
