Comparative Vertebrate and Human Anatomy: Ecology, Evolution, and Function

Comparative Vertebrate and Human Anatomy: Ecology, Evolution, and Function

Vertebrate , Human Anatomy, Ecology

This book provides an ecology- and function-oriented approach to understanding the evolution of vertebrate structure. The text has a modular format, such that each module can be used as a stand-alone instructional tool, or grouped together as a comprehensive textbook, making the text versatile for use in courses with diverse structures. The text also includes human-specific modules for each anatomical system, as many small, liberal arts colleges teach comparative and human anatomy in a single course. Detailed, human-specific modules may be added or removed, as needed for individual courses, depending on the scope and learning objectives of the class.
