This new edition reflects the international scope of vertebrate palaeontology, with a special focus on exciting new finds from China. A key aim is to explain the science. Gone are the days of guesswork. Young researchers use impressive new numerical and imaging methods to explore the tree of life, macroevolution, global change, and functional morphology. The fourth edition is completely revised. The cladistic framework is strengthened, and new functional and developmental spreads ar 606 $aVertebrates, Fossil 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVertebrates, Fossil. 676 $a566 700 $aBenton$b M.
