Homology, homoplasy, novelty, and behavior.

Developmental psychobiology - 1 Jan 2013

Hall Brian K

Abstract excerpt

Richard Owen coined the modern definition of homology in 1843. Owen's conception of homology was pre-evolutionary, nontransformative (homology maintained basic plans or archetypes), and applied to the fully formed structures of animals. I sketch out the transition to an evolutionary approach to homology in which all classes of similarity are interpreted against the single branching tree of life, and outline the...
