How can we bring together the study of genes, embryos and fossils?
"Embryos in Deep Time" is a critical synthesis of the study of
individual development in fossils. It brings together an up-to-date
review of concepts from comparative anatomy, ecology and
developmental genetics, and examples of different kinds of animals
from diverse geological epochs and geographic areas. Can fossil
embryos demonstrate evolutionary changes in reproductive modes? How
have changes in ocean chemistry in the past affected the
development of marine organisms? What can the microstructure of
fossil bone and teeth reveal about maturation time, longevity and
changes in growth phases? This book addresses these and other
issues and documents with numerous examples and illustrations how
fossils provide evidence not only of adult anatomy but also of the
life history of individuals at different growth stages. The central
topic of Biology today - the transformations occurring during the
life of an organism and the mechanisms behind them - is addressed
in an integrative manner for extinct animals.
