ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF MAMMALS, THE

Kemp (Oxford University) offers an account of the fossil record documenting the evolution of mammals, and unveils molecular evidence which, coupled with important new fossils, is presently challenging current thinking on the interrelationships and historical biogeography of mammals. B&w illustrations are included. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in vertebrate paleontology, biogeography, mammalian systematics, and molecular taxonomy. It will also be welcomed by vertebrate fossil enthusiasts and evolutionary biologists.
