This book presents selected works of contemporary evolutionary
morphologists and includes such topics as broad scale
reconstructions of the brain and ear of dinosaurs, inference of
locomotor habits from cancellous bone architecture in fossil
primates, and a comparison of the independently evolved
manipulating apparatuses in the lesser and giant pandas. Insight is
provided into the application of modern noninvasive technologies,
including digital imaging techniques and virtual 3D reconstruction,
to the investigation of complex anatomical features and coherences.
In combination with traditional methods, this allows for the
formulation of improved hypotheses on coordinated function and
evolution. The creation of virtual translucent specimens makes it
possible to realize the age-old dream of the classical anatomists:
looking through the skin into the inner organization of an
organism. On full display here is the dramatic and promising impact
that modern imaging techniques have on scientific progress in
evolutionary morphology.
