Oldest Pathology in a Tetrapod Bone Illuminates the Origin of Terrestrial Vertebrates
The origin of terrestrial tetrapods was a key event in vertebrate evolution, yet how and when it occurred remains obscure, due to scarce fossil evidence. Here, we show that the study of palaeopathologies, such as broken and healed bones, can help elucidate poorly understood behavioural transitions s...
