"The origin of multicellular animals is one of those difficult and
delicate biological problems that have been pondered for centuries.
This book summarizes recent results in phylogenetics and
developmental biology that address the evolution of key innovations
in metazoans. The first section covers phylogenetic issues.
Focusing on nervous system and sensory organ development, the
second section addresses prominent questions concerning the
developmental biology of metazoan evolution. A third section
discusses the evolution of pattern and process in the incredible
forms of life that we call Metazoa and covers evolution of life
histories and the evolution of biogeochemical aspects of metazoans.
The book has over 40 illustrations and an up-to-date bibliography
of over 500 references. Each chapter concludes with a set of
questions for study and discussion."--
