Palaeontology:  Between Water And Land, Nature
 









Excerpts: The most informative examples of large-scale evolution are provided by
major transitions between environments. Fresh research on an ancient amphibian
shows how it adapted to locomotion both in water and on land.One of the defining
events in the history of life was the emergence of terrestrial vertebrates from
early fish. (...) This 360-million-year-old amphibian resembled fish in many
features of its skeleton, but possessed pelvic (hip) and pectoral (shoulder)
girdles and limbs capable of supporting the body and allowing movement on land.
