Book Synopsis The Evolution of Organ Systems by : Andreas Schmidt-Rhaesa
Book excerpt: Although there are several books on the phylogenetic relationships of animals, this is the first to focus on the consequences of such relationships for the evolution of organs themselves. It provides a summary of evolutionary hypotheses for each of the major organ systems, describing alternative theories in those cases of continuing controversy.
