| Scope |
The present Eurasian continent has been established by the collision
of Indian subcontinent and the regression of the Tethys Sea, and
also been connected with North American and African continents
several times during the Cenozoic era. These connections with other
continents led the intercontinental faunal exchanges, producing the
complicated evolutionary history of land and marine mammals. On the
other hand, the global climatic changes during the Cenozoic era
produced not only floral changes but also faunal transition in
Eurasia. In this session we will discuss on the topics of
evolutionary history of vertebrate animals of the Cenozoic Eurasia
including Japan. |
