Systematics and the Fossil Record by Andrew B Smith
This text sets out to establish the role played by systematics in deciphering patterns of evolution from the fossil record. It begins by considering the nature of species in the fossil record and then outlines recent advances in the methodology used to establish phylogenetics relationships.
"From a review of the manuscript: "[The book] has the potential to become the standard reference on the subject - required reading for all palaentologistsIndeed I can envisage a state of affairs where no-one will dare use taxonomic data from the fossil record to address evolutionary questions without first checking Smith to ensure that their methods are legal". D E G Briggs, University of Bristol
