The Tethys Sea has experienced dramatic changes from expansion, split, narrowing to extinction in its 200 million-year evolutionary history. This paper reviews the diversity studies of different animals in the Tethyan region, and systematically summarizes the impacts of the evolution and changes of the Tethys Sea on the global diversity patterns of animals. The Tethyan evolution has directly affected the current distribution and composition of global animal diversity by changing the physical connection between habitats, which determined the dispersal and isolation of animals. The Tethyan sea-land changes have indirectly affected the origin, dispersal, diversification, maintaining and extinction of animals in the Tethyan region by changing regional topographies and ecological environments, such as the formation of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, the emergence of freshwater habitats, the aridification of Central Asia, the occurrence of Messinian salinity crisis, and the emergence of the new cave and lake habitats. This paper emphasizes that the evolution and changes of the Tethys Sea is an essential driving force for the evolution of global animals and reveals the potential links between the formation of the current diversity patterns of animals and the series of tectonic activities in the Tethyan region.
