#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

They do get a bit bigger than this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

But as I love showing, it's not a million miles off the size of my own.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

I could do with a diet, but I don't weigh seven tons.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So yeah, it really is really pretty small.

#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Two claws, two fingers.

#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Yeah, so two fingers.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

You'll see sometimes that they say there's a third.

#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

This is a slight misnomer.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So you do see this extra little bone here.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

This doesn't turn up in all of them, and it's an extra hand bone.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So it's these, the metacarpals, but it's not supporting an extra digit.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So mostly functionality-wise, it wasn't very functional.

#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

They're not doing very much at all.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

This is what's called the deltoid pectoral crest.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

It's really important for basically big arm movements because it's deltoids and pectorals.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

The radius and ulna are really quite thin, thinner than ours.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

The fingers are pretty stocky.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

The claws look big and curved,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 – Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

And they are, but other tyrannosaurs, and indeed other carnivores generally, much more curved claws.

And then they have these little things.
