《征程：从鱼到人的生命之旅》

这是一部由三位来自不同国度的古生物学家还原与重建的中国古脊椎动物演化的历史，不仅回答了“我们从哪里来”，还让我们看到生命演化历程中充满的惊奇、偶然与不可思议。作者把这纵横5亿年的历史讲得生动有趣，恢弘而不失其细节，充满了形象的比喻和深刻的思考。本书特别聚焦了“从鱼到人”演化中的九个精彩转折，也值得读者悉心地品味。

这段史诗般的历程藉由15个有代表性的中国古生物群以及数万块珍贵的化石为凭证。一些我国特有的绽放着几亿年生命之美的高清晰化石图片和结构复原图系首次精心呈现，引领化石爱好者踏上远古生命的探秘之旅。同时，认知生命演化历程中的这些记录，正是古生物学的魅力所在。

化石记录显示，发育完全的骨质脊椎是在4亿多年的志留纪，从两个关系密切的类群中独立演化出来的：辐鳍鱼类（包括多数的现生鱼类）和肉鳍鱼类（包括肺鱼和腔棘鱼）。由于人类和其他陆生脊椎动物是从肉鳍鱼类中演化出来的，并继承了真正骨质的脊椎，所以从某种意义上讲，人类就是“超级改进版的肉鳍鱼”。
