General description Paleobiology studies biological processes occurring at geological time scales. After introducing the main features of the fossil record, other aspects, such as the analysis of organic form, the role of the fossil record on the development of modern Evolutionary Theory, or the analysis of paleoecological and paleobiogeographical processes from an evolutionary prespective are considered. An specific section is reserved for an overview of the evolution of biodiversity over geologic time, establishing the different relationships that allow us to understand our planet as a system. The subject has a strong conceptual focus, leaving more descriptive issues (Systematic Paleontology) for the laboratory sessions.
