Gregory Donald Edgecombe is an American[citation needed] paleontologist who is a merit researcher in the department of Earth Sciences at the Natural History Museum, London.[4][5] He is a leading figure in understanding the evolution of arthropods, their position in animal evolution and the integration of fossil data into analyses of animal phylogeny.[6] As a palaeontologist, he is also an authority on the systematics of centipedes – and a morphologist whose work contributes to the growth and methods of analysis of molecular datasets for inferring evolutionary relationships.[6][1][7]
