摘要

Perhaps the most famous biologist of all times,Charles Darwin is best known for the ideas published in his book On the Origin of Species (1859).The widespread public belief is that the development of the theory of evolution is more important for palaeontologists (who are interested in understanding the history of the Earth) than it is for anyone else.This is not true of course,and the development of the theory had a profound impact on all sciences.It also went far beyond that to also have an enormous influence on certain aspects of politics and society in general.Nevertheless,it is curious that in spite of the connection between palaeontology and the theory of evolution,fossils play a relatively minor role in any edition of On the Origin of Species.Darwin,when he started his career as the naturalist on "The Beagle",considered himself primarily as a geologist.He was successful at collecting significant fossils in Argentina,which ironically were studied by Richard Owen,the man who proposed the name "dinosaur" in 1841,and ultimately became Darwin's most bitter opponent.Although fossil vertebrates are seldom mentioned in Darwin's major work on evolution,there is no question that they had a major influence on his thinking as he developed his concept of evolution.
