Paleontology Vol. 1 - by Ismar de Souza Carvalho

Since the emergence of life on Earth, the adaptations, transformations and innovations demonstrated by organisms, show us phenomena and a temporality that far transcends the dimension of human existence, marked by the emergence and disappearance of continents, as well as ecological catastrophes that led to the extinction of countless animal and plant species. This edition of the book Paleontology presents the different groups that existed in the last 3.8 billion years, in addition to the geological and paleobiological contexts in which they were inserted. Paleontology (3rd edition) is divided into three volumes. The first covers the concepts and methods for studying fossils. This book tells us the thought-provoking geological story of life. This is a work intended for all those who wish to expand their knowledge about the diversity and transformations that the organic world has undergone over the course of deep time.
