Abstract
The development of bacterial paleontology has shaken some generally accepted scientific paradigms in research on the Archean–Proterozoic evolution of the Earth. Thus, bacterial and paleontological studies occasionally led to a revision of paleogeographical constructions. This paper discusses the main achievements of this rather young scientific discipline, including the finds of ancient prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms and their connection with the early Earth’s environments, as well as the finds of fossilized microorganisms in carbonaceous chondrites (meteorites), which change our attitude toward the problems of panspermia and the origin of life.
期刊介绍：
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
