"生命科学奖"获奖者： 季强 、徐星、周忠和 自1868年Thomas Huxley提出鸟类起源于恐龙的设想以来，该观点长期存在争议。1970年代，John Ostrom重新 复活该假说，并提出鸟类源自一种小型虚骨龙类恐龙。1990年代，季强和陈丕基（已故）分别报道了发现于中国 辽西地区的世界上首例带羽毛的非鸟恐龙化石，开启了带羽毛恐龙化石发现的序幕。徐星和周忠和发现并研究了 一系列从恐龙到鸟的过渡物种。他们通过系统发育分析、解剖学研究和功能推测，从形态和功能上建立了恐龙和 鸟类之间的链接，为鸟类是兽脚类恐龙的一个演化支系提供了确切证据。他们的系列工作将"鸟类起源于恐龙"从 假说转化为被广泛接受的科学理论。 季强 中国地质科学院 河北地质大学 2025年8月6日（星期三）上午10:00，未来科学大奖在北京、香港两地共同举办 2025未来科学大奖新闻发布会 ，正式揭晓2025年"生命科学奖"、"物质科学奖"、"数学与计算机科学奖"获奖名单，并就2025未来科学大奖周 议程进行官方发布。 季强、徐星、周忠和获得"生命科学奖"； 方忠、戴希、丁洪 获得"物质科学奖"；卢志远 获得"数学与计算机科学 奖"。 未来科学 ...
