Jurassic Mothers from China: Origins and Evolution of Mammals

Lecture by Zhe-Xi Luo, Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy, University of Chicago
Paleontologist Zhe-Xi Luo discusses both the originations of modern mammalian biological adaptations in the deep times of the Mesozoic-dominated by the dinosaurs-and how Jurassic fossils discovered in China shed light on the earliest evolution of placental mammals.
