The anthropoid postcranial axial skeleton: comments on development, variation, and evolution.

Journal of experimental zoology. Part B, Molecular and developmental evolution - 15 May 2004

Pilbeam David

Abstract excerpt

Within-species phenotypic variation is the raw material on which natural selection acts to shape evolutionary change, and understanding more about the developmental genetics of intraspecific as well as interspecific phenotypic variation is an important component of the Evo-Devo agenda. The axial skeleton is a useful system to analyze from such a perspective. Its development is increasingly well understood, and...
