PARIS

CR2P is a laboratory entirely dedicated to paleontology. Its objective is to elucidate the structure of kinship relationships and the history of life through the fossil record and past environments. From the most primitive life forms of the Precambrian to hominids, the expertise of CR2P's members covers a wide spectrum of animal and plant fossil groups from the infinitesimally small to the giant vertebrates.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
