The Origin of the Tetrapods | Short Courses in Paleontology
The origin of tetrapods is one of the longest standing (and still not fully resolved) fields in vertebrate evolution (Thomson, 1993). The discovery of living lungfishes in the nineteenth century sparked interest because of their apparent intermediate position between other kinds of fishes and amphibians. (As is well known, the South American ...
