内容説明
The roots of this book and its sister volume, Mammal Phylogeny: Mesozoic Dif ferentiation, Multituberculates, Monotremes, Early Therians, and Marsupials, go back to discussions and plans, shelved for a while, between F. S. Szalay and W. P. Luckett during the international and multidisciplinary symposium on rodent evol ution sponsored by NATO, July 2-6, 1984, in Paris. That conference, organized by W. P. Luckett and J. -L. Hartenberger, the proceedings of which were pub lished in 1985, proved an inspiring experience to all of the participants, as this was repeatedly expressed both during and after the meetings. In addition to issues re lating to rodents, general theoretical topics pertaining to the evolutionary biology and systematics of other groups of mammals regularly surfaced during the pre sentations and discussions. M. J. Novacek, who was also a participant in the ro dent symposium, shared with Luckett and Szalay the enthusiasm acquired there, and he also expressed strong interest for a meeting on mammal evolution with a general focus similar to that of the rodent gathering. In 1988, Szalay and Luckett, after having planned in detail a program, direc tion, and core list of participants, were awarded a $30,000 grant by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation through the Research Foundation of the City University of New York. The grant was contingent upon obtaining additional funds sufficient to assure that the symposium would be held. Raising the remaining funds proved to be a problem."

内容説明
This is a review of research on the phylogeny of placental mammals. It addresses the evolutionary morphology of hard and soft tissues, molecular approaches to phylogeny, and virtually all active approaches to analysis which are focused on the evolutionary history of this dominant group of mammals. Leading international researchers review all of the major placental groups, either from the perspective of molecular biology or by morphological analysis of fossils and living groups. Evolutionary biologists, vertebratepalaeontologists, mammalogists, primatologists and taxonomists should find the volume of interest.
