Major Transitions in Vertebrate Evolution - Hardcover
by Jason S. Anderson (Editor), Hans-Dieter Sues (Editor)
New discoveries of ancient vertebrates, filling in gaps in the fossil record, are quickly eroding the traditionally recognized differences between the principal groups of vertebrates--for example, between dinosaurs and birds--and radically changing our understanding of the evolutionary history of the major group of animals to which our species belongs. This book describes this changing scientific landscape and contributes to the revolution in our knowledge of the developmental mechanisms that underlie evolutionary transformation.
