More than three hundred million years ago, vertebrate animals first ventured onto land. This book describes how some finned vertebrates acquired limbs, giving rise to over 25,000 extant tetrapod species. It summarizes key concepts of modern paleontological research, including biological nomenclature, and paleontological and molecular dating.
