Extractions: ed. John J. Wiens, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, 2000 Some copies available in the UCD Bookstore You need not be a card-carrying paleontologist to take this seminar; you do need to have an interest in morphology and systematics. I encourage all of you to either attend for credit, or to audit - participation from a broad cross-section of phylogeneticists on campus still interested in morphology (I know you're out there!) would be ideal. Thanks! Sandy Carlson Week Topic Week 1 (10/1-5) Decide on time and day and place to meet Week 2 (10/8-12) Molecules versus morphology in systematics: conflicts, artifacts, and misconceptions

UCMP: A History Of Evolutionary Thought A timeline with information on major contributors to biology, geology, and paleontology from Aristotle up to the 20th century. From the UC Berkeley Museum of paleontology. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/evothought.html
Extractions: THE THEORY of evolution, formalized by Charles Darwin, is as much theory as is the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity. Unlike theories of physics, biological theories (especially evolution) have been argued long and hard in socio-political arenas. The history of thought about evolution in general and paleontological contributions specifically are often useful to the workers of today. Science, like any iterative process, draws heavily from its history. The list below includes scientists and thinkers who have contributed to our understanding of life on Earth, especially evolution. The list is given chronologically, and is divided into sections according to themes in the history of evolutionary thought. Timeline of Evolutionary Thought: Get a graphical view of some
Paleontology In The News paleontology in the News. This is a selection of stories, subject tothe following rules. paleontology in the News. February 26, 2003. http://www-geology.ucdavis.edu/~GEL3/paleonews.html
Extractions: This is a selection of stories, subject to the following rules. First, I don't guarantee close daily coverage of everything that happens (because I have a job to do apart from maintaining this Web page). Second, the site has to be generally accessible. (Many journals, like Science and Nature , make their pages accessible only to people who have paid a subscription to the written version.) Third, I choose newspapers and news sites that tend to keep their pages accessible for more than two weeks over those that do not. Fourth, to minimize loading time, I take stories off and archive them after a couple of months (see bottom of page for links to archived stories). Fifth, I keep older articles archived for varying lengths of time, depending how important I think they are (or interesting, at least); whether they have been updated or made redundant; and whether the site has dropped them. Similar pages on the UC Davis Geology Department web site are February 26, 2003. New argument against Clovis "overkill".
