38 -- Evolution
THURSDAY, April 17, 2008: AFTERNOON
Ariel Anbar
Arizona State University, USA
Description
Until life is discovered elsewhere, the historic trajectory of life on Earth is our only source of information about the forces that shape biological evolution. This history is written in the fossil record found in rocks and the genomic record found in living organisms. This session provides an opportunity for presentations relating to both of these evolutionary records, as well as for presentations that extract general evolutionary concepts from these records and apply these concepts to inform our speculations of how life might evolve on other planets
