About :
Conference of June 18, 2018 Paleontology is interested in objects, fossils, which have long attracted the attention of men, first from a collection perspective, then from fantastic explanations. Some fabulous beings have thus been conceived in whole or in part from fossil remains, such as snake eggs with magical virtues, stone snakes, giants, unicorns and other griffins. The natural and rational analysis of fossils has been able to distinguish reality from these creatures. The world is not disenchanted by it, however. Conversely, paleontological stories, sometimes heroic, have been able to nourish, thanks to real discoveries, ancient myths such as the wild man and the yeti (the gigantopithecus) or create new myths such as the emergence from the waters (the walking fish) or the missing link between the ape and man from Eugène Dubois' Pithecanthropus to the youngest, Toumaï - who is the first - who came from Chad. With --- Pascal Tassy, paleontologist, professor emeritus at the National Museum of Natural History. Pascal Tassy taught paleontology and evolution at the Pierre-et-Marie-Curie University from 1975 to 1996 before joining the Museum.
