“It may be fairly claimed that vertebrate paleontology has been the most important single factor in the rise and popularization of natural history museums. This is perhaps its greatest contribution to the social, as opposed to the scientific, history of America” (Simpson 1942, 157).

    Hi Ben.

    I was thinking that as you’re number of articles are getting too many to count that a new system of locating them may be needed as I get lost looking for them now and then when I some here for some reading.

    My best suggestion are pages like this for each year divided into months and the articles from said month listed in a manner similar too here.

    No pressure or disrespect or anything, only a suggestion too make this easier too navigate as by now I’m sure people come here for reference as pleasure.

      Thanks, that’s a really helpful thought. Turns out it was easy to automatically create an archive by month. Someday I’ll clean up the categories so you can sort that way, too…

        Thanks Ben and no rush!

        It’s just there are some great articles from way back I like too read but after all that time finding them I’m too burned out too enjoy them, this will bring that joy in.

        I’m sure many others thought so as well, I just had the guts to bring it up!
