- W1916232009 abstract "The field of paleobiogeography is derived in direct lineage from its close intellectual cousin, biogeography, a scientific discipline that had its birth in the adventurous and exploratory urges of humankind. When people traveled to far-off lands centuries ago they discovered, much to their surprise, that the plants and animals of these lands, as well as the fossils preserved in their strata, were often very different from those they were familiar with in their own countries. Indeed, it “ … might have been anticipated (that there would be) an almost perfect identity in the animals and plants which inhabit corresponding parallels of latitude” (Lyell, 1832, p. 66), i.e., similar climates. Instead, the travelers’ senses were enriched with the sounds of new bird songs, the smells of new plants, and the sights of different peoples and cultures. The motivations for these explorations were often both base and noble: the will to power or to dominate a local people by controlling their resources, but also the desire to know and to understand. As this is a scientific text, rather than a sociological one, I am going to focus on what are best perceived as the more noble intentions of humanity. Specifically, how the quest for knowledge about our world is related to the establishment of a tradition in paleobiogeographical and biogeographical research.KeywordsFossil RecordScientific TextBiogeographic PatternSimilar ClimateModern BiotaThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
