Comparative Physiology: Primitive Mammals attempts to dispel the
widely held notion that 'primitive' animals are less advanced or
less complex than the 'non-primitive'. The term 'primitive', or
more accurately 'conservative', refers to the fact that these
animals have retained many of the characteristics of their
evolutionary ancestors. Because they have been able to adapt to a
variety of environmental conditions, these so-called primitive
animals should be considered highly successful evolutionary
solutions. The papers contained in this volume are the result of
the Fourth International Conference on Comparative Physiology held
at Crans-sur-Sierre in 1978. The conference, which was sponsored by
the Interunion Commission on Comparative Physiology representing
the International Unions of Biological Sciences, Physiological
Sciences, and Pure and Applied Biophysics, brought together
scientists from various fields to discuss the widely scattered
information on primitive mammals from the perspective of
comparative physiology.
