Among the offspring of humans and other animals are occasional
individuals that are malformed in whole or in part. The most
grossly abnormal of these have been referred to from ancient times
as monsters, because their birth was thought to foretell doom; the
less severely affected are usually known as anomalies. This volume
digs deeply into the cellular and molecular processes of embryonic
development that go awry in such exceptional situations. It focuses
on the physical mechanisms of how genes instruct cells to build
anatomy, as well as the underlying forces of evolution that shaped
these mechanisms over eons of geologic time. The narrative is
framed in a historical perspective that should help students trying
to make sense of these complex subjects. Each chapter is written in
the style of a Sherlock Holmes story, starting with the clues and
ending with a solution to the mystery.
