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