PALEOBIOLOGY AND ANCIENT LIFE

Dr Simon Conway-Morris is professor of Paleobiology at Cambridge University. He has been a Fellow of the Royal Society for 30 years and is a fellow of St Johns College, Cambridge. He is one of the greatest living evolutionary biologists and one of the minds behind convergent evolution which is a grand unifying theory across biology. He gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 1996. He is an expert on the Burgess Shale fossils and has travelled the world exploring the fossil record, especially regarding the Cambrian era. His books include Life's Solution, The Runes of Evolution, The Crucible of Creation, and more recently From Extraterrestrials to Animal Minds.
