- Abstract:
The fossil record provides evidence that addresses fundamental questions about the origin and history of life on the earth. When did life evolve? How do new groups of organisms originate? How are major groups of organisms related? This record is neither complete nor without biases, but as scientists’ understanding of the limits and potential of the fossil record grows, the interpretations drawn from it are strengthened.
