This course provides basic concepts of vertebrate evolution and provides the student the chance to apply several theoretical concepts assimilated during the introductory course of paleontology. It will be highlighted the importance of fossils for age estimations, paleogeography and palaeoclimate/palaeoenvironmental reconstructions
