Humans and flies look nothing alike, yet their genetic circuits are
remarkably similar. Here, Lewis I. Held, Jr compares the genetics
and development of the two to review the evidence for deep
homology, the biggest discovery from the emerging field of
evolutionary developmental biology. Remnants of the operating
system of our hypothetical common ancestor 600 million years ago
are compared in chapters arranged by region of the body, from the
nervous system, limbs and heart, to vision, hearing and smell.
Concept maps provide a clear understanding of the complex subjects
addressed, while encyclopaedic tables offer comprehensive
inventories of genetic information. Written in an engaging style
with a reference section listing thousands of relevant
publications, this is a vital resource for scientific researchers,
and graduate and undergraduate students.
