On Evolution A statement by The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology The fossil record of vertebrates unequivocally supports the hypothesis that vertebrates have evolved through time, from their first records in the early Paleozoic Era about 500 million years ago to the great diversity we see in the world today. The hypothesis has been strengthened by so many independent observations of fossil sequences that it has come to be regarded as a confirmed fact, as certain as the drift of continents through time or the lawful operation of gravity. fishes. At the same time, techniques of geologic dating, including magnetostratigraphy, radiometric dating of many different isotopes of common elements, lithostratigraphy, and biostratigraphy, have provided independent lines of evidence for determining age relationships of the sediments in which fossils are found. This evidence from the principles and techniques of chemistry and physics support the finds of paleontology based on paleobiological and geological analyses, making the theory of evolution the only robust scientific explanation for the patterns of life on Earth.

Chang Science Grant Estes Grant Gregory Award Honorary Memberships ... Past Winners 2004 A. S. Romer-G. G. Simpson Medal Robert L. Carroll I was introduced to paleontology on a spring afternoon, shortly after my fifth birthday. My father has just come home from teaching science in a small town high school in central Michigan . He brought with him a box of fossils he had shown his students that day. They included a trilobite, a few brachiopods, and perhaps some corals. He explained to me that these were the remains of animals that had lived in the sea, a long time ago. I became very excited, especially when he suggested that we might find fossil on our farm. This was not a very auspicious place to collect fossils, since the entire area was covered by glacial drift, but the glaciers had carried with them rocks represented much of the Paleozoic sequence that made up the Michigan basin, from the Ordovician through the Upper Carboniferous. That summer, my father and I walked behind the horse as it tilled our fields, and picked up what fossils we could find. We visited local gravel pits along the huge esker that ran down the center of the county, giving me an introduction to the Pleistocene glaciation, and clay quarries rich in Carboniferous plants. Although there were no Mesozoic beds within a thousand miles, I soon became interested in dinosaurs as a result of reading Roy Chapman Andrews' tales of his collecting in the Gobi Desert .

Prehistoric Man R eturning once more to the "bibliographic comments" which this series started out to be, we take up a selection of general works which will introduce the reader to the subject of fossil man. In the last installment a discussion of the relation of evolution to the study of anthropology was attempted. This section will be devoted,only to a brief survey of the literature introductory to this division of general anthropology. We are only interested here in those books which seem to be anthropologically rather than more strictly biologically oriented. However, there are a great number which deal particularly with non-human evolution or the dynamics of evolution in general which should at least be mentioned. Among the best in English in recent years are G. S. Carter, Anintal Evolution, (see bibliography for complete references.) Dobzhansky, T., Genetics and the Origin of Species

Some more-or-less practical reasons: (1) Fossils reveal when, and how fast, organisms appeared, evolved, and became extinct; (2) Fossils are reliable indicators of the age of sedimentary rocks; and (3) Fossils are excellent indicators of past life and environments. Non-practical reasons include the pleasure of discovery, reconstructing the life of the past, and being able to critique the entire Jurassic Park series. The lecture part of this course will cover the principles of paleontology, the evolution of life in the oceans and on land, the use of fossils in dating and in deciphering ancient environments, and the major features of evolution and extinction as seen in the fossil record. The laboratory part of the course will illustrate the concepts discussed in lecture, introduce you to important groups of fossils, provide field experience in collecting and analyzing fossils, and develop research, writing and presentation skills. There is a REQUIRED FIELD TRIP in this course.

The Classification of Living Things Fossils Reject the "Tree of Life" The Burgess Shale Fossils Molecular Comparisons Deepen Evolution's Cambrian Impasse ... Marine Reptiles The Origin of Reptiles Dinosaur, lizard, turtle, crocodile-all these fall under the class of reptiles. Some, such as dinosaurs, are extinct, but the majority of these species still live on the earth. Reptiles possess some distinctive features. For example, their bodies are covered with scales, and they are cold-blooded, meaning they are unable to regulate their body temperatures physiologically (which is why they expose their bodies to sunlight in order to warm up). Most of them reproduce by laying eggs. DIFFERENT EGGS One of the inconsistencies in the amphibian-reptile evolution scenario is the structure of the eggs. Amphibian eggs, which develop in water, have a jelly-like structure and a porous membrane, whereas reptile eggs, as shown in the reconstruction of a dinosaur egg on the right, are hard and impermeable, in order to conform to conditions on land. In order for an amphibian to become a reptile, its eggs would have to have coincidentally turned into perfect reptile eggs, and yet the slightest error in such a process would lead to the extinction of the species.

This volume brings together the findings and insights of today's leading experts in the study of evolution, including Ayala, W. Ford Doolittle, and Stephen Jay Gould. The volume examines early cellular evolution, explores changes in the tempo of evolution between the Precambrian and Phanerozoic periods, and reconstructs the Cambrian evolutionary burst. Long-neglected despite Darwin's interest in it, species extinction is discussed in detail.

PUBLICATIONS PAPERS IN AVIAN PALEONTOLOGY HONORING PIERCE BRODKORB edited by Kenneth E. Campbell, Jr. Science Series 36 Published by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County 505 pages, 287 illustrations, 70 tables, bibliography, index, 1992. Price $90.00 cloth cover (ISSN 0079-0943) Photograph Foro panarium n. gen., n. sp., holotype (USNM 336261), nearly complete skeleton. This volume is the largest, most diverse work ever devoted to studies of avian paleontology and evolution. Fifty authors from 13 countries contributed a total of 39 research papers, most of which were presented at the II International Symposium of the Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution (SAPE). Other papers were contributed by colleagues of Dr. Pierce Brodkorb, to whom the volume is dedicated. A biography and bibliography of that preeminent paleornithologist are included as are lists of avian taxa that he described. Of the volume's 26 systematic papers, 5 concern Mesozoic birds. Other sections are devoted to avian morphology and regional surveys of avian paleontological records. Among the papers on Mesozoic birds are a description of the newest specimen of Archaeopteryx and descriptions of two new orders of Cretaceous birds. Papers on Cenozoic birds encompass such diverse topics as reviews of the galliforms from the Phosphorites du Quercy, Australian ratites, Mediterranean island birds, giant Paleogene groundbirds from Europe and North America, and columbids from archaeological sites on South Pacific islands. A number of new avian taxa are described, including those of an important new order of Paleogene birds from North America.

The elements of science are recognized through discussion of the crime solution metaphor. Also clearly shows how science is used effectively to reveal unwitnessed events of the past (by weighing the evidence), much as we do in paleontology, geology, evolution and astronomy. CONCEPTS 1. Scientific knowledge is uncertain, tentative and subject to revision. 2. Scientific explanations and interpretations can neither be proven nor disproven with certainty. 3. Scientists use a variety of criteria to compare explanations and select the better ones.
