Lars Werdelin

Lars Werdelin (born 1955) is a Swedish paleontologist specializing in the evolution of mammalian carnivores. His areas of scientific interest include the evolutionary interaction of carnivores and hominins in Africa, as well as the evolution and phylogeny of carnivore clades such as the Machairodontinae, the lynxes and the Hyaenidae.

He received his Ph.D. from Stockholm University in 1981. He is responsible for describing the Machairodontine genus ''Lokotunjailurus'' in 2003 and in 2023, the Machairodontine species ''Dinofelis werdelini'' was named in honour of him. The genus name of ''Werdelinus'', an extinct hyaenid described in 2010, was also dedicated to him and his contributions to carnivore paleontology. Provided by Wikipedia
