Template:古生物学 古生物学 or palaeontology (发音： /ˌpeɪlɪɒnˈtɒlədʒi/, /ˌpeɪlɪənˈtɒlədʒi/ or /ˌpælɪɒnˈtɒlədʒi/, /ˌpælɪənˈtɒlədʒi/) is the scientific study of 史前史的生命. It includes the study of 化石s to determine 生命体s' 演变 and interactions with each other and their environments (their 古生态学). As a "历史学的 science" it attempts to explain 成因 rather than conduct experiments to observe effects. Paleontological observations have been documented as far back as the 5th century BC. The science became established in the 18th century as a result of 乔治·居维叶's work on 比较解剖学, and developed rapidly in the 19th century. The term itself originates from Greek: παλαιός (palaios) meaning "old, ancient," ὄν, ὀντ- (on, ont-), meaning "being, creature" and λόγος (logos), meaning "speech, thought, study".

古生物学处在生物学与地质学的交界处，和考古学的边界更加是不易分辨。它现在广泛运用了其他科学支系的技术，包括生物化学，数学以及工程学。借由这些技术，古生物学家去发现更多关于生命的进化历史的事情, almost all the way back to when 地球 became capable of supporting 生命, about 3,800百万年前. 随着知识增加, 古生物学已经发展出更加专业的子分类 ， 有些人专注于研究生物体 化石，有人研究生态学和有关环境的历史，如古气候学。

实体化石 and 遗迹化石 are 主要证据 about 古生命, and 地球化学的证据已帮助破译 演变 of 生命 before 有足够大的 生命体s to 留下化石s.

估计现存化石的时期是必要的，但也难以实现: 有时 相邻的 地层允许使用放射性定年法, which provides absolute dates that are accurate to within 0.5%, 但更加经常的是古生物学家必须依靠 相对年龄测定 by 解决"拼图" of 生物地层学.

分类 古生命体也很困难, 因为许多生命体并不适用于生物分类法 that 普遍用来分类现在幸存的生命体, and 古生物学家 更加经常 使用 支序分类学 来 描绘出 演化的 "family trees".

最简单的定义是"对古生命的研究".[1] 古生物学 寻找 几个方面的信息 of 过去的生命体s: "他们的特性和起源，他们的 环境and 演变, and what they can tell us about the 地球's organic and inorganic 过去".[2]

A 历史学的 science

古生物学是历史科学之一, along with 考古学, 地质学, 生物学, 天文学, 宇宙学, 语言学 and 历史学 它本身.[3] 这意味着它主要致力于 描述过去的现象 and 重现他们的成因.[4] 所以它主要有3个要素： 描述现象; 建立发展出统一的理论 about the 成因 of 各种类型的change; and 应用这些理论 to 特定事实.[3]

.

当试图解释过去的现象时， 古生物学家s and 其他的历史学家一样，通常是 建立 一连串假定 about the 成因 ，然后寻找确凿证据， a piece of 证据 that 表明s that 其中的一个假定比其他的假定能解释更好。有时 the 确凿证据 被发现 by 幸运的意外 during 其他研究时. 例如，发现 by 路易斯·沃尔特·阿尔瓦雷茨（Luis Alvarez） and 沃尔特·阿尔瓦雷茨 of an 铱-rich layer at the 白垩纪–第三纪 boundary 让 小行星撞击 and 火山作用 成为 最受喜爱的（favored）解释 for the 白垩纪－第三纪灭绝事件.[4]

f

另一种主要的科学形式-实验科学，which is often said to work by 设计实验s to 证明假定错误 about the workings and 成因 of 自然现象 – 注意 that 这种方法不能证明假定正确，因为往后可能有实验证明它错误。 然而，当面对完全意想不到的现象时， 例如 the first 证据 for 看不见的辐射, 实验科学家 通常使用相同的方法as 历史学家: 建立一连串假定 about the 成因 and 然后寻找一个 "确凿证据".[4]

f

古生物学 lies on the boundary between 生物学 and 地质学 since 古生物学 focuses on the record of past 生命 but its main source of 证据 is 化石s, which are found in rocks.[5] For 历史学的 reasons 古生物学 is part of the 地质学 系s of many universities, 因为在19世纪和20世纪早期，地质学系发现了估计岩层年代的重要古生物学证据 while 生物学系s showed little interest.[6]

f

古生物学也与考古学有一些重叠, which 主要 works with objects made by humans and with human remains, while 古生物学家s 感兴趣于 特性和演变 of 人类 as 生命体s. 当处理 证据 about 人类, 考古学家 and 古生物学家 可能会一起工作 – 例如， 古生物学家 might 识别 动物或植物的化石 around 考古遗址（遗迹）, to 发现 曾居住在此的人们吃了什么; or 他们 might 分析当时的气候 when 人类居住在此.[7]

Analyses using 工程学 techniques show that 暴龙 had a devastating bite, but raise doubts about how fast it could move.

f

另外， 古生物学也经常使用其他学科的方法技术, 包括 生物学, 生态学, 化学, 物理学 and 数学.[1] 例如， 地球化学的 特征 from 岩石能 may 帮助 to 发现何时生命第一次出现 on 地球,[8] and 分析 of 碳 同位素比 能帮助 to 确定气候 变化 and 甚至解释 主要的 transitions ，像二叠纪－三叠纪灭绝事件.[9] 一个相对较近的学科, 分子系统发生学, 常用来 重建 演化的 "family trees" by 使用比较 of 不同现代生命体s' DNA and RNA ; 它现在也被用来 估计 日期 of 重大演化的发展, 尽管这种方法仍有争议 because of 怀疑 about "分子钟"的可靠性.[10] 工程学中的技术 现在也被用来分析 古生命体可能是如何 worked 的, 例如 暴龙能移动多快 and 它的咬力有多大.[11][12]

古生物学 甚至 对 太空生物学有贡献, the 调查 of 可能存在的生命 on 其他行星, by 发展模型 of 生命如何出现 and by 提供技术方法 for 检测生命存在的证据 .[14]

Subdivisions

As knowledge has increased, 古生物学 has developed specialised subdivisions.[15] 古脊椎动物学 concentrates on 化石s of 脊椎动物, from the earliest 鱼类 to the immediate ancestors of modern 哺乳动物s. 古无脊椎动物学 deals with 化石s of 无脊椎动物s such as molluscs, arthropods, annelid worms and 棘皮动物s. 古植物学 focuses on the study of 化石 plants, but traditionally includes the study of 化石 algae and fungi. 孢粉学, the study of pollen and spores produced by land plants and protists, straddles the border between 古生物学 and botany, as it deals with both living and 化石 生命体s. Micro古生物学 deals with all microscopic 化石 生命体s, regardless of the group to which they belong.[16]

.

Instead of focusing on individual 生命体s, 古生态学 examines the interactions between different 生命体s, such as their places in 食物链s, and the two-way interaction between 生命体s and their environment[17] – for example the development of oxygenic photosynthesis by 细菌 hugely increased the productivity and diversity of ecosystems,[18] and also caused the oxygenation of the atmosphere, which in turn was a prerequisite for the 演变 of the most complex eucaryotic cells, from which all 多细胞 的生命体s are built.[19] 古气候学, although sometimes treated as part of 古生态学,[16] focuses more on the history of 地球's climate and the mechanisms that have changed it[20] – which have sometimes included 演变ary developments, for example the rapid expansion of land plants in the 泥盆纪 period removed more 二氧化碳 from the atmosphere, reducing the 温室效应 and thus helping to cause an 冰河时代 in the 石炭纪的 period.[21]

生物地层学, the use of 化石s to work out the chronological order in which rocks were formed, is useful to both 古生物学家s and geologists.[22] Biogeography studies the spatial distribution of 生命体s, and is also linked to 地质学, which explains how 地球's geography has changed over time.[23]

Sources of 证据

Body 化石s

主条目：化石s
File:Marrella (化石).png
This Marrella specimen illustrates how clear and detailed the 化石s from the Burgess Shale lagerstätte are.

化石s of 生命体s' 遗体 通常是最有益的证据类型. 最常见的类型是 木材, 骨头, and 贝壳.[24] 化石isation is a rare event, and most 化石s 被破坏 by 侵蚀 or 变质作用 before 他们能被 observed. Hence the 化石 record is very incomplete, increasingly so further back in time. Despite this, it is often adequate to illustrate the broader patterns of 生命's history.[25] There are also biases in the 化石 record: different environments are more favorable to the preservation of different types of 生命体 or parts of 生命体s.[26] Further, only the parts of 生命体s that were already 矿化的（mineralised） are usually preserved, such as the shells of molluscs. Since most 动物 物种s are soft-bodied, they decay before they can become 化石ised. As a result, although there are 30-plus phyla of living 动物s, two-thirds have never been found as 化石s.[27]

.

Occasionally, unusual environments may preserve soft tissues. These lagerstätten allow 古生物学家s to examine the internal anatomy of 动物s that in other 沉积（沉淀物）s are represented only by shells, spines, claws, etc. – if they are preserved at all. However, even lagerstätten present an incomplete picture of 生命 at the time. The majority of 生命体s living at the time are probably not represented because lagerstätten are restricted to a narrow range of environments, e.g. where soft-bodied 生命体s can be preserved very quickly by events such as mudslides; and the exceptional events that cause quick burial make it difficult to study the normal environments of the 动物s.[28] The sparseness of the 化石 record means that 生命体s are expected to exist long before and after they are found in the 化石 record – this is known as the Signor-Lipps effect.[29]

遗迹化石s

主条目：遗迹化石

遗迹化石s consist 主要 of 遗迹 and 洞穴, 也包括 粪化石s (化石 排泄物) and 进食后留下的痕迹.[24][30] 遗迹化石s are 特别有意义 because they represent a data source that is not limited to 动物s with easily 化石ized hard parts, and 他们反映了 生命体的行为习惯。 Also many traces date from significantly earlier than the body 化石s of 动物s that are thought to have been capable of making them.[31] 然而 精确分配 of 遗迹化石s to 他们的制造者 is 通常不可能, 但 遗迹 可能 for example 提供最早的物理证据 of the 外观 of （moderately）中度复杂的动物 (comparable to 地球worms).[30]

地球化学的 observations

地球化学的 观察结果 也许能帮助 to 推论 全球生物活性层次（the global level of biological activity）, or the affinity of a certain 化石. For example 地球化学的 features of rocks 可能 揭露 生命 何时第一次出现在地球上,[8] and 可能提供 证据 of 真核细胞的 presence, 所有的多细胞生命体由此发展而来.[32] 分析 of 碳 同位素比 也许能帮助解释 主要的 transitions ，像二叠纪－三叠纪灭绝事件.[9]

Levels in the 生物分类法

f

命名 groups of 生命体s in a way （that 清晰且广泛同意） is 重要的, 因为引起古生物学的一些争论仅是因为名字上的误解。[34] 生物分类法 通常用来 分类 现在幸存的生命体s, but 陷入困难 when 处理 新发现的 生命体s that are 有显着性差异 from 已知物种.例如: 很难决定 at what level to place a new higher-level grouping, e.g. 属 or family or order;这是重要的，因为 the Linnean rules for naming groups 与 their levels 相关联, and 因此如果一个 group 移动到一个不同的 level，它必须重新命名.[35]

.

古生物学家通常也使用支序分类学的方法, a 技术方法 for working out the 演化的 "family tree" of a set of 生命体s.[34] It works by the logic that, if groups B and C have more similarities to each other than either has to group A, then B and C are more closely related to each other than either is to A. Characters that are compared may be anatomical, such as the presence of a 脊索, or 分子, by comparing sequences of DNA or 蛋白质s. The result of a successful analysis is a hierarchy of clades – groups that share a common ancestor. Ideally the "family tree" has only two branches leading from each node ("junction"), but sometimes there is too little information to achieve this and 古生物学家s have to make do with junctions that have several branches. The cladistic technique is sometimes fallible, as some features, such as wings or camera eyes, evolved more than once, convergently – this must be taken into account in analyses.[33]

f

演化发展生物学, 通常缩写为 "Evo Devo", 也能帮助古生物学家 to produce "family trees". 例如 the 胚胎学的 development of 一些现代腕足动物 显示腕足动物也许是 the halkieriid的后代, which已在寒武纪时期灭绝。[36]

Estimating the dates of 生命体s

主条目：Geochronology
Common index 化石s used to date rocks in North-East USA

.

古生物学 seeks to map out how living things have changed through time. A substantial hurdle to this aim is the difficulty of working out how old 化石s are. Beds that preserve 化石s typically lack the radioactive elements needed for 放射性定年法. This technique is our only means of giving rocks greater than about 50 million years old an absolute age, and can be accurate to within 0.5% or better.[37] Although 放射性定年法 requires very careful laboratory work, its basic principle is simple: the rates at which various radioactive elements decay are known, and so the ratio of the radioactive element to the element into which it decays shows how long ago the radioactive element was incorporated into the rock. Radioactive elements are common only in rocks with a volcanic origin, and so the only 化石-bearing rocks that can be dated radiometrically are a few volcanic ash layers.[37]

.

Consequently, 古生物学家s must usually rely on 地层学 to date 化石s. 地层学 is the science of deciphering the "layer-cake" that is the 沉积（沉淀物）ary record, and has been compared to a 七巧板.[38] Rocks normally form relatively horizontal layers, with each layer younger than the one underneath it. If a 化石 is found between two layers whose ages are known, the 化石's age must lie between the two known ages.[39] Because rock sequences are not continuous, but may be broken up by faults or periods of 侵蚀, it is very difficult to match up rock beds that are not directly next to one another. However, 化石s of 物种s that survived for a relatively short time can be used to link up isolated rocks: this technique is called 生物地层学. For instance, the conodont Eoplacognathus pseudoplanus has a short range in the Middle Ordovician period.[40] If rocks of unknown age are found to have traces of E. pseudoplanus, they must have a mid-Ordovician age. Such index 化石s must be distinctive, be globally distributed and have a short time range to be useful. However, misleading results are produced if the index 化石s turn out to have longer 化石 ranges than first thought.[41] 地层学 and 生物地层学 can in general provide only relative dating (A was before B), which is often sufficient for studying 演变. However, this is difficult for some time periods, because of the problems involved in matching up rocks of the same age across different 大陆s.[42]

.

Family-tree relationships may also help to narrow down the date when lineages first appeared. For instance, if 化石s of B or C date to X million years ago and the calculated "family tree" says A was an ancestor of B and C, then A must have evolved more than X million years ago.

f

也有可能估计 多久之前 两个现存的演化支就已 diverged – 例如，它们最后的共同祖先大约多久前肯定还存在 – by 假设 that DNA 突变以恒定速率累积. These "分子钟s", 然而, 是不可靠的, and 只提供非常粗略的时间: 例如，它们没能足够精确和可靠地去估计 在何时 the groups that feature in the 寒武纪大爆发 first evolved,[43] and （？）-不同技术中也许会因为某个因素变化，令估计结果不同（produced by different techniques may vary by a factor of two）[10]

Overview of the history of 生命

主条目：演化的 history of 生命
更多信息：Timeline of 演化的 history of 生命

f

生命的演化历史可以追溯到比3,000百万年前更早, 可能远至3,800百万年前. 地球在大约4,570百万年前形成 and, after a collision that 月球 在大约40 million years later形成, 也许在约4,440百万年前能冷却得足够快以形成大气层和海洋.[44] 然而有证据显示月球 from 4,000 to 3,800 百万年前有一个后期重轰炸期. 如果, as seem likely, 当时在地球也有这样的轰炸, 首次出现的大气层和海洋也许会被剥夺掉。[45] 最早的 明确的 关于地球上的生命 的证据 dates to 3,000百万年前,( 尽管已经reports, 但仍常有争议), 3,400百万年前的细菌化石 和 地球化学中关于生命出现的证据 。3,800百万年前.[8][46] 一些科学家提议 that 地球上的生命是从其他地方播种而来,[47] 但大多数研究集中在 各种解释 of 生命如何能在地球上自然出现.[48]

This wrinkled "elephant skin" texture is a 遗迹化石 of a non-叠层石 微生物席.
The image shows the location, in the Burgsvik beds of 瑞典, where the texture was first identified as 证据 of a 微生物席.[49]

.

For about 2,000 million years 微生物席s, multi-layered colonies of different types of 细菌, were the 统治地位的 生命 on 地球.[50] The 演变 of oxygenic photosynthesis enabled them to play the major role in the oxygenation of the atmosphere[51] from about 2,400百万年前. This change in the atmosphere increased their effectiveness as nurseries of 演变.[52] While 真核细胞s, cells with complex internal structures, may have been present earlier, their 演变 speeded up when they acquired the ability to transform oxygen from a 毒物 to a powerful source of energy in their 新陈代谢. This innovation may have come from primitive 真核细胞s capturing oxygen-powered 细菌 as 内共生体s and transforming them into 细胞器s called mitochondria.[53] The earliest 证据 of complex 真核细胞s with 细胞器s such as mitochondria, dates from 1,850百万年前.[19]

.

多细胞的 生命 is composed only of eukaryotic cells, and the earliest 证据 for it is the Francevillian Group 化石s from 2,100百万年前,[54] although specialization of cells for different functions first appears between 1,430百万年前 (a possible 真菌) and 1,200百万年前 (a probable red alga). 有性生殖 may be a prerequisite for specialization of cells, as an asexual 多细胞的 生命体 might be at risk of being taken over by rogue cells that retain the ability to reproduce.[55][56]

There is a long-running debate about whether this 寒武纪大爆发 was truly a very rapid period of 演化的 experimentation; alternative views are that modern-looking 动物s began evolving earlier but 化石s of their precursors have not yet been found, or that the "weird wonders" are 演化的 "aunts" and "cousins" of modern groups.[59] 脊椎动物 remained an obscure group until 第一条有颌的鱼在奥陶纪后期出现。[60][61]

在二叠纪时期合弓纲，包括哺乳动物的祖先，可能已经统治支配了陆地环境，[70]但二叠纪－三叠纪灭绝事件 251百万年前 到来 very close to 擦掉 复杂的生命.[71] 这场灭绝显然非常突然，至少对于脊椎动物来说。[72] 在从这场灾难缓慢恢复的过程中， a previously obscure group, 古蜥s, became 最丰富和多样化的陆生脊椎动物. One 古蜥 group,恐龙, were 统治地位的陆生脊椎动物 for the rest of the 中生代,[73] and 鸟类 进化出来 from one group of 恐龙.[69] 这一时期幸存的哺乳动物的祖先只有小的、主要在夜间活动的食虫动物, but this apparent set-back may have accelerated the development of 哺乳动物ian traits such as 温血性 and 毛发.[74] (65百万年前)白垩纪－第三纪灭绝事件之后， 杀掉非鸟类的恐龙s – 鸟类是唯一仅存的恐龙s – 哺乳动物 迅速增长 in 大小和多样性，and（？）-一些接管了天空和海洋。[some took to the air and the sea].[75][76][77]

生物集群灭绝

Template:Annotated image/灭绝

主条目：Mass 灭绝

至少从542百万年前开始，地球上的生命就已遭受过偶然发生的生物集群灭绝。尽管这是当时的灾难，但生物集群灭绝有时能加速地球上的生命的演化。 When dominance of particular 生态位s passes from one group of 生命体s to another, it is rarely because the new 统治地位的 group is "superior" to the old and 通常是因为一场灭绝事件消除了占统治地位的 the old group and 为new one 辟开了新道路。[84][85]

f

化石记录似乎显示灭绝的速度正在缓慢下来, with both 生物集群灭绝间的距离越来越长 and the average and background rates of 灭绝 正在减少。 然而并不确定真正的灭绝速度已经改变，因为这两个观察结果能以如下几个方式解释：[86]

.

  • The oceans may have become more hospitable to 生命 over the last 500 million years and less vulnerable to 生物集群灭绝: 溶解氧 became more widespread and penetrated to greater depths; the development of 生命 on land reduced the run-off of nutrients and hence the risk of 富营养化 and 缺氧事件s; marine ecosystems became more diversified so that 食物链s were less likely to be disrupted.

[87][88]

f

  • Reasonably 完整的化石非常稀少，大多数灭绝的生命体 are represented only by 局部化石s, and 在最老的岩层中，完整的化石是最少的。所以古生物学家肯定会错误地分配一些相同生命体的不同部分到不同的genera, ？[为了容纳这些发现，通常单独定义出一个genera]。 – 奇虾的故事可以作为一个例子。

[89]

.

The risk of this mistake is higher for older 化石s because these are often unlike parts of any living 生命体. Many "superfluous" genera are represented by fragments that are not found again, and these "superfluous" genera appear to become extinct very quickly.[86]

尽管 古生物学在大约1800年建立, 更早时已有思想家注意到了关于化石记录的方面。 古希腊哲学家 色诺芬尼 (570–480 BC)从?[ 化石 sea shells] 总结出：陆地的一些区域曾经在水下.[91] 到了中世纪，波斯博物学家 伊本·西那，讨论了化石s and 提议 a 理论 of 石化液（petrifying fluids） （Albert of Saxony (philosopher)在14世纪将其详尽）。[92] 中国博物学家 沈括 (1031–1095) 提出 a 理论 of 气候变化 ，根据某地区石化竹子的存在，因为在他的时代，那个地区对竹子来说太干燥了。.[93]

f

In 近代史, 作为启蒙时代自然哲学中一个不可分割的改变部分，对化石的系统研究出现了。在18世纪末期，乔治·居维叶's work 建立了比较解剖学 as 一个科学学科 and, by 证明一些形成化石的动物没有幸存的动物与之相似, 论证 that 这些动物可能灭绝,引导了古生物学的萌芽.[94]关于化石记录的知识扩展也在地质学的发展中扮演了越来越重要的角色, 特别是在地层学.[95]

f

19世纪上半叶，地质学和古生物学的活动日益好了起来，地质学协会和博物馆的增加[96][97] 以及专业的地质学家和化石专家人数的增加.非纯粹科学的原因也使得兴趣增加，因为地质学和古生物学帮助实业家去发现和开采自然资源 例如煤.[98]

.

This contributed to a rapid increase in knowledge about the history of 生命 on 地球 and to progress in the definition of the geologic time scale, largely based on 化石 证据. In 1822 Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blanville, editor of Journal de Phisique, coined the word "palaeontology" to refer to the study of ancient living 生命体s through 化石s.[99] 随着关于生命历史的知识继续增加, it became increasingly obvious that there had been some kind of successive order to the development of 生命. This encouraged early 演化的 theories on the trans突变 of 物种s.[100] 在1859年查尔斯·达尔文出版物种起源后 , 许多古生物学的注意点转移至理解演变ary 途径, 包括人类演变, and 演化的理论.[100]

Haikouichthys, from about 518百万年前 in China, may be the earliest known 鱼类.[101]

.

The last half of the 19th century saw a tremendous expansion in paleontological activity, especially in 北美洲.[102] The trend continued in the 20th century with additional regions of the 地球 being opened to systematic 化石 collection. 化石s found in China near the end of the 20th century have been particularly important as they have provided new information about the earliest 演变 of 动物s, early 鱼类, 恐龙s and the 演变 of 鸟类s.[103]

.

The last few decades of the 20th century saw a renewed interest in mass 灭绝s and their role in the 演变 of 生命 on 地球.[104] There was also a renewed interest in the 寒武纪大爆发 that apparently saw the development of the body plans of most 动物 phyla. The discovery of 化石s of the Ediacaran biota and developments in paleo生物学 extended knowledge about the history of 生命 back far before the 寒武纪.[59]

.

Increasing awareness of Gregor Mendel's pioneering work in genetics led first to the development of population genetics and then in the mid-20th century to the modern 演化的 synthesis, which explains 演变 as the outcome of events such as 突变s and horizontal gene transfer, which provide genetic variation, with genetic drift and 自然选择 driving changes in this variation over time.[105] Within the next few years the role and operation of DNA in genetic inheritance were discovered, leading to what is now known as the "Central Dogma" of molecular 生物学.[106] In the 1960s 分子系统发生学, the investigation of 演化的 "family trees" by techniques derived from 生物化学, began to make an impact, particularly when it was proposed that the human lineage had diverged from 猿s much more recently than was generally thought at the time.[107] Although this early study compared 蛋白质s from 猿s and humans, most 分子系统发生学 research is now based on comparisons of RNA and DNA.[108]
