Erfan Khosravi is an Iranian biologist and paleontologist who pursued his studies in animal biosystematics and animal biology at the universities of Tehran and Shahid Beheshti. His research interests include paleontology, evolution, comparative anatomy and osteology, animal systematics, and the study of vertebrates. His research background also includes references to the philosophy of science, the philosophy of biology, and the history of evolutionary thought in Iran.
