This usefully illustrated book describes how some finned vertebrates acquired limbs, giving rise to more than 25,000 extant tetrapod species. Michel Laurin uses paleontological, geological, physiological, and comparative anatomical data to describe this monumental event. He summarizes key concepts of modern paleontological research, including biological nomenclature, paleontological and molecular dating, and the methods used to infer phylogeny and character evolution. Along with a discussion of the evolutionary pressures that may have led vertebrates onto dry land, the book also shows how extant vertebrates yield clues about the conquest of land and how scientists uncover evolutionary history. 606 $aVertebrates$xEvolution 606 $aEvolution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVertebrates$xEvolution. 615 0$aEvolution. 676 $a596.13/8 700 $aLaurin$b Michel$0602549 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459430803321 996 $aHow vertebrates left the water$92445165 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01327oam 22002891 450 001 9910637294503321 005 20230609132146.0 035 $a(Uk-CbPIL)pld-Z000173319 035 $a(Uk-CbPIL)Z000173319 035 $a(CKB)5500000000176217 035 $a(EXLCZ)995500000000176217 100 $a20140506e19961851 uy | 101 0 $alat 135 $aurnn|nnnunaan 200 10$aPatrologiae Cursus Completus, sive bibliotheca universalis ... omnium S.S.
