ABSTRACT
The International Symposium on Early and Lower Vertebrates (ISELV) aims to promote the study of the origin and early evolution of our own evolutionary lineage. This volume serves as an example of the most recent symposium held in Valencia, Spain, in June 2022. Since its inception in 1967, the ISELV has been organized 15 times prior to the latest conference in Valencia, which marked the 16th edition and the first time it was held in Spain in over 50 years. This symposium stands out as the sole recurring international meeting exclusively dedicated to the Palaeozoic vertebrate research community, putting special emphasis on topics concerning the origin, diversity, and early evolution of vertebrates (including the first tetrapods). The compilation presented in this volume represents the culmination of these conferences and serves as our tribute to two distinguished researchers in the field of Early Vertebrates: Dr. Philippe Janvier from the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris and Dr. Tiiu Märss from Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia.
