David Norman

David Norman is a paleontologist based at the University of Cambridge. Much of his research work has concentrated on the anatomy, biology, and evolution of ornithischian dinosaurs. He is one of the world's leading experts on iguanodontian dinosaurs and has trained a group of students who are themselves now leading palaeontologists and functional morphologists in their fields of research. David is a bestselling author and has been awarded prizes for some of his books, many of which are intended to introduce science to audiences through the use of dinosaurs as a starting point; he has also been an advisor on various television programs, notably for Sir David Attenborough (Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives) and the late Walter Cronkite (Dinosaur!), as well as the multi-award-winning Walking with Dinosaurs.
