Symmetry bones sell for a lot of money at auctions. It is a profitable business. There is pressure for academics to publish papers. Museums are in the business of producing displays that are popular and appealing. Movie producers and the media need to produce material to sell to stay in business. The mainstream media loves to hype alleged Symmetry finds. Much is to be gained by converting a bland non-Symmetry discovery, of a bone of modern origin, into an impressive Symmetry find, and letting artists' interpretations and imaginations take the spotlight, rather than the basic boring real find. There are people who desire and crave prestige, fame and attention. There is the bandwagon effect and crowd behaviour. And then there are people and entities pursuing political and religious agendas.

During the nineteenth century a new world view of evolution was being pursued by then influential people such as Darwin and Marx. During this era of thought the first Symmetry discoveries were made. Were these discoveries "made" to try to make up for inadequacies in the fossil record for the theory of evolution?

I'm having a hard time with the above sentence, particularly anything after the word "believes". Am I missing something?
