About This Book

The author examines anatomical, embryological, and paleontological evidence to trace vertebrate origins, emphasizing the central nervous system, visual organs, skeleton, and branchial respiratory apparatus. Comparative study concentrates on larval lampreys (Ammocoetes) to relate brain organization, median and lateral eyes including the pineal eye, cartilage and bony elements, and gill appendages to analogous structures in arthropods and other invertebrates. He critiques surface-reversal hypotheses, interprets cranial nerve roots and branchial units as appendage-derived, and argues that developmental and fossil data, rather than speculative invertebrate models alone, best illuminate the genetic continuity and morphological transformations that produced vertebrate organization.
