Scientists have unearthed in southeastern China the fossil of a quail-sized bird that lived about 150 million years ago during the Jurassic Period and possessed surprisingly modern traits, a ...
Li et al. (2024) describe new fossil material of Pliorhinus ringstroemi from the Miocene deposits from the Linxia Basin (China), providing new information on the skeletal anatomy of this species, interpret P. ringstroemi as a distinct species related to P. megarhinus and P. miguelcrusafonti, and argue that Pliorhinus might have originated in ...
A study on the phylogenetic relationships of Hexangulaconulariidae, based on data from new specimens from the Cambrian strata from the Yangtze Platform (China), is published by Song et al. (2024), who interpret hexangulaconulariids as members of the stem group of Medusozoa related to carinachitids, conulariids and olivooids. [30]
Paleoanthropology or paleo-anthropology is a branch of paleontology and anthropology which seeks to understand the early development of anatomically modern humans, a process known as hominization, through the reconstruction of evolutionary kinship lines within the family Hominidae, working from biological evidence (such as petrified skeletal remains, bone fragments, footprints) and cultural ...
An expert from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences measures a rock containing dinosaur bone fossil discovered in Hong Kong's Port Island.
Review of the systematics and evolutionary history of African proboscideans is published by Sanders (2023). [2]A study on the evolution of teeth of proboscideans from East Africa over the past 26 million years is published by Saarinen & Lister (2023), who find evidence of ratchet-like mode of evolution, with periods of rapid increase in hypsodonty and loph count (probably related to episodes ...
