Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I te timatanga, he pai te whanaungatanga i waenga i a Cope me Marsh. I tutaki raua ki Berlin i te tau 1864 ka noho tahi mo etahi ra. I tapaina anō hoki e rātau ngā ingoa o ētahi momo. I te mutunga o te wā ka kino to rātau pātahitanga, nā te kaha o a rātau tuakiri. I mohiotia a Cope he whawhai, he tere te riri; He puhoi ake a Marsh, he tikanga, he tino uru ki roto. Ko raua tokorua he hunga tautohetohe, he hunga whakaponokore. I whakawhānuihia hoki o rātau rerekētanga ki te ao pūtaiao, i te mea he tino kaitautoko a Cope i te Neo-Lamarckism i te mea i tautoko a Marsh i te ariā o Charles Darwin mo te kunenga mā te tīpakonga māori. Ahakoa i nga wa pai rawa atu, ka titiro nga tangata tokorua ki a raua ano i runga i te whakaaro nui. Ka rite ki ta tetahi kaitirotiro i kii ai, "Ko te rangatira rangatira a Edward kaore pea i whakaarohia e Marsh he rangatira. I whakaaro pea te mātauranga a Othniel ehara a Cope i te tino tohunga. "I ahu mai a Cope raua ko Marsh i nga ahuatanga rereke. I whanau a Cope ki roto i te whanau Quaker whai rawa me te whai mana i Philadelphia. Ahakoa i hiahia tona papa kia mahi tana tama hei kaiahuwhenua, i wehewehe a Cope i a ia ano hei tangata taiao. I te tau 1864, he mema o te Academy of Natural Sciences, ka noho a Cope hei kaiwhakaako mo te koiora i Haverford College ka uru atu ki a Ferdinand Hayden i ana haerenga ki te hauauru. I tua atu, ka tipu ake a Marsh i te rawakore, te tama a te whanau uaua i Lockport, New York, mena kaore i te atawhai a tona matua keke, te tangata atawhai a George Peabody. I akiaki a Marsh i tana matua keke ki te hanga i te Whare Taonga o Peabody mo te Hītori Taiao, me te whakanoho i a Marsh hei upoko o te whare taonga. Ka honoa ki te taonga tuku iho i riro i a ia mai i a Peabody i tana matenga i te 1869, he pai ki a Marsh te moni (ahakoa, na te mea he kaha te whakaaro o Peabody mo te marena, ka noho tonu a Marsh ki te oranga tonutanga).  Pātai: He pēhea a Marsh i whakaritea ki a Cope?
he puhoi ake, he whai tikanga ake, he tūhuratia
