This new and significantly updated authored dictionary is a unique glossary of paleontological terms, taxa, localities, and concepts.  It focuses primarily on identifying the most significant groups of fossil animals and plants in relation to their evolution and phylogeny.  It also focuses on mass extinctions, on taxa that are problematic in some significant way, on the principal fossil-Lagerstätten of the world, and on historical turning points marked by index fossils.  Although there are many current resources on the subject, none contains an accurate representation of the paleontological lexicon. Although well aware that the fast-changing field of paleontology will always defy any attempt at complete description, the author has attempted to provide an accurate and comprehensive set of about 4,000 entries that will be useful to professionals as well as to general readers of scientific literature without a background in paleontology.

  • European Hair, Eye, and Skin Color
    Peter Frost
    Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

  • When Evolution Stops
    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
