 | | UNION, N.J. Dr. Xiaobo Yu, professor of biological science and paleontology at Kean University, whose remarkable fossil-fish discoveries in China have caught the attention of international press, has been invited to teach an interdisciplinary course in evolutionary-developmental biology at Beijing University for the fall semester. |
 | | Achoania, the fossil fish Yu discovered, is much more primitive than expected and could force a reassessment of the evolution of prehistoric fishes, which scientists believe are common ancestors of all land vertebrates, including humans, Yu explained. |
 | | Yu and his fellow paleontologists had been on the trail of the fossil since the early 1980s, when they were on a dig in the Yunnan Province of China. |
