WOW, I learned a lot form this and it was fairly educational but not overwhelming or difficult. This instructor really gets the points across without being to easy or hard. A very good class.
Celebrate your inner fish as you swim along with this awesome course charting our earliest ancestors. Very well constructed and delivered once again by the team at the University of Alberta.

•Great short course, perfect for an introduction into early vertebrate evolution. I recommend taking the other Palaeontology courses by this university on this site if you haven't already.
By Giles S
•This course was very informative and I enjoyed learning about the far past of vertebrates. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in paleontology and the history of life.
By Zandra P
•Very informative course in a easy to learn teaching style I would highly recommend for anyone interested in the Paleontology field of work or just wanting to further their own learning

I haven't completed this course yet. Self pace and enjoying the lectures and videos. I've taken another Univ of Alberta course on Marine Reptiles which was great! I enjoy the Paleontol

•Everything you need!
This is the first of a great series - first-class lecture notes, well illustrated lectures and plenty of links to further study.

•it is good for maths students who haven't studied biology and struggle with understanding palaeontology. vertebrates have been explained very well.
By Keenan R
•Excellent course, presentation, presenter, and material. Hope to see if other subjects of the Palaeozoic would be covered in future courses
By Arturo M
•An excellent presentation of paleontology by W. Scott Persons. A very amazing journey through the Devonian fishes that evolved to tetrapods.
By Ajit P
•A fairly accessible course to vertebrate evolution that thought me a lot about parts of my body and ancestry that I had taken for granted.
By Bryan K
•Very informative information on the vertebrae evolution. I feel so much better now knowing Im a living tetrapod and I came from a fish,
By Krajc, D
•Beautifully made. A new insight of nature. Awesome to see, listen, think about and recognize development of evolution in todays species.

•Tanto eu, quanto minha criança interior amamos paleontologia e tudo relacionado a ela, então este curso caiu como uma luva para mim.
By Andrés V X
•The course was concise because you learn the major charecteristics of the groups of fishes and how they evolved into another group.
