Vertebrate paleontology and paleoanthropology m China have a long glorious history dating back to the 1920s, and significant progress has been made in the last twenty years thanks to the discoveries of hundreds of important vertebrate fossils from the deposits ranging in age from the Early Cambrian to the Quaternary. These discoveries have led to nearly 100 papers appearing in prestigious journals of Nature, Science and PNAS by Chinese vertebrate paleontologists and paleoanthropologists, outnumbering those published by Chinese scientists from any other discipline in the same period.
