摘要

In the future, I'd like to see paleontology as a whole get a lot more quantitative. We're doing more and more molecular paleontology and applying statistics to it. We are also very interested in reconstructing what ancient animals were like when they were alive, and these kinds of studies require huge collections. Specifically, we're trying to collect many specimens of the same species so we can look at ontogeny -a creature's growth and development-and interpret behavior, rather than just building cladograms [branching diagrams that illustrate the evolutionary relationships among species]. We still have a lot of people in the collecting phase-people who just want to find a new dinosaur and name it-but I hope we will soon get really into the paleobiological aspects, where we piece together the life history of our planet.
