摘要: ABSTRACT Robert Broom (1866–1951) was the first palaeontologist to live in South Africa. Having trained as a medical doctor Scotland he came Africa 1897 and practised medicine while pursuing palaeontology hobby. As pioneering palaeontologist, with no bounds his infectious enthusiasm, made an enormous contribution wide variety of fields palaeontological endeavour. The reason why specifically explore evolutionary origin mammals by undertaking research on therapsid fossil record from rocks Karoo. It this field that published most scientific papers. Despite then lack large comparative collections good preparation facilities, not only laid foundations taxonomy, biology, diversity biostratigraphy. He also contributed substantially developing promoting – both locally internationally expertise science This paper...
