Re-examination Indicating Large Blade Technology in China Appears Earlier Than Thought Before The blade technology is no longer accepted as a marker of modern humans, while the presence of different varieties of systematic blade production in transitional and Initial Upper Paleolithic industries remains a topic of considerable scientific interest. Dr. GAO Xing, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoa... Scientists Reconstructed the Common Ancestor of Placental Mammals  An international team of researchers has reconstructed the common ancestor of placental mammals—an extremely diverse group including animals ranging from rodents to whales to humans—using the world’s largest dataset of both genetic and physical traits. In research published February 7 in the journal Science, the... New Species of Mylagaulids (Rodentia) Found From the Miocene of Northern Junggar Basin, China  Mylagaulids is an extinct group of Aplodontoidea (Rodentia). Most genera possess high crowned and complex cheek teeth with numerous enamel bordered lakes of different depths, which vary in size and shape with wear. Thus, it is very difficult to make taxonomic determination and assess the relationship of small sampl... A Large Theropod Metatarsal Found From the Jurassic Shishugou Formation in Junggar Basin, China The Sino-American field expedition in the Junggar Basin north of the Tian Shan in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, led by Dr. XU Xing, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, have produced a number of dinosaur fossils, including several species of small- to medi... New Material of Gomphotheres Found From Wushan County, Gansu Province of China During recent field work in the northwestern China, Dr. WANG Shiqi, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his collaborators discovered a juvenile gomphotheriid mandible in the Neogene strata of the Nanyucun Locality, Wushan County, Gansu Province. Researc... New Forms of Dinosaur Eggs (Dictyoolithids) Found from the Tiantai Basin, China Paleontologists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, collected some dinosaur eggs of the oofamily Dictyoolithidae from the Upper Cretaceous Chichengshan Formation in the Tiantai Basin of Zhejiang Province. On the basis of general external shape, siz... New Materials of Caturoid Fish Found From Middle Triassic of Yunnan, China Dr. JIN Fan, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his graduate student TAN Kai described new materials of caturoid fish--Gymnoichthys inopinatus, from the Middle Triassic Guanling Formation at the Dawazi Village, Luoping County, Yunnan Province, China. Gymnoich... DNA Analyses Show Early Modern Human 40000 Years Ago in Beijing Area Related to Present-Day Asians and Native Americans Scientists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China, and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, extracted nuclear and mitochondrial DNA from a 40,000 years old leg bone found in 2003 at the Tianyuan ... New advance on Crown Formation Time of Anterior Teeth of Fossil Orangutan from South China Perikymata are typical enamel growth markings of anterior teeth, and their spacing pattern and total counts can provide helpful information on dental development and life history. Recently, researchers from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) studied the perikymata spacing pattern and c...   32 Page(s)   FirstPrev1617181920NextFinal
