摘要

1980年，Steven J. Gould发表了一篇关于古生物学作为一门学科出现的文章(Gould 1980)，无神论指的是寻找一般规律或原则。古尔德将此与古生物学的基础进行了对比，古生物学是详细描述生命历史的具体传统，从描述新的化石分类群到阐明随时间变化的长期模式。吉姆·瓦伦丁(Jim Valentine)是这一学科扩张的先驱之一。在这里，我向吉姆致敬，他是最早的古生物学家之一，是我的同事、合著者和朋友，我强调他的学术风格和见解，以及他的持久贡献。我写这篇文章的部分目的是作为悼词，是对那些认识他的人的纪念，也是为了向那些可能不熟悉他的人介绍他的作品的持续相关性。

James Valentine (20 November 1926–7 April 2023), co-founder of Paleobiology and master of idiographically informed nomothetism

In 1980, Steven J. Gould published an essay on the emergence of paleobiology as a nomothetic discipline (Gould 1980), nomothetism referring to the search for general laws or principles. Gould contrasted this with the foundation of paleontology, the idiographic tradition of detailing the history of life from the description of new fossil taxa to the elucidation of the long-term patterns of change through time. Among the pioneers of this nomothetic expansion was Jim Valentine. Here I pay tribute to Jim as one of the first paleobiologists, a colleague, coauthor, and friend, emphasizing his intellectual style and insights as much as his lasting contributions. I have written this in part as a eulogy, a remembrance for those who knew him, but also as an introduction to the continuing relevance of his work for those who may be unfamiliar with it.

期刊介绍： Paleobiology publishes original contributions of any length (but normally 10-50 manuscript pages) dealing with any aspect of biological paleontology. Emphasis is placed on biological or paleobiological processes and patterns, including macroevolution, extinction, diversification, speciation, functional morphology, bio-geography, phylogeny, paleoecology, molecular paleontology, taphonomy, natural selection and patterns of variation, abundance, and distribution in space and time, among others. Taxonomic papers are welcome if they have significant and broad applications. Papers concerning research on recent organisms and systems are appropriate if they are of particular interest to paleontologists. Papers should typically interest readers from more than one specialty. Proposals for symposium volumes should be discussed in advance with the editors.
