Ciencia extraña

I've always been fascinated by the twisted way in which human knowledge advances, and Strange Science examines some of the odder ideas that preceded our modern-day understanding of paleontology and biology.

Sometimes, however, reality is even weirder than the fanciful creatures dreamed up by medieval zoologists. The discovery of the Burgess Shale fossils in 1909 uncovered bizarre lifeforms that seem better suited to some alien world than to our own, like the hallucigenia, for example. Definitely the stuff of nightmares.
