Mingkai is the Chinese name of Mikael Fortelius, given by his friends and
colleagues at the IVPP in Beijing. He trained (mostly) at the University of
Helsinki, Finland, where he is currently Professor of Evolutionary Palaeontology
in the Department of Geology. His interests include everything that concerns
fossil mammals, especially their teeth, including evo-devo, palaeoenvironment
reconstruction, and the deep time evolutionary dynamics of mammal communities.
He is the coordinator of the NOW database of fossil mammals and has been
involved in collaborative fieldwork in China since 1997.
