Fossils - A Very Short Introduction.pdf (Size: 3.03 MB)
Description
As an evolutionary biologist with interests in development and
physiology, the attraction of fossils for me has been twofold: to discover how they illuminate our ideas about evolution, and to find ways of using our knowledge of living organisms to make fossils come ‘alive’. Although I have spent more time than I care to remember on working with fossils, I did not set out to be a palaeontologist. I am particularly grateful, therefore, to my colleagues on both sides of the scholarly neontological/ palaeontological coin for tolerating my invasions, over the years, into their territories and even assisting me in the process. I have always worked with vertebrate fossils, rather than invertebrates, plants, or fungi, and that bias shows in the examples I use; the principles, however, are common to all fossils.
