Description for Origin and Evolution of the Vertebrate Telencephalon, with Special Reference to the Mammalian Neocortex
Paperback. How could a complex design like vertebrate brain develop from the simplest multicellular animals? This book follows an approach that has been termed 'developmental evolutionary genetics', and which seeks to establish a correspondence between embryological processes and the phylogenetic history of an organism. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 128 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAJ; PSVW7. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 7. Weight in Grams: 207.
1 Introduction There is little doubt that the vertebrate brain is the most complex structure we know. As with any complex structure, there is the immediate question about its origins. Howcouldsuchacomplexdesigndevelopfromthesimplestmulticellular animals? This problem has pervaded the study of evolutionary biology since its beginnings. Although Darwin (1859, 1871) proposed an impeccable mechanism (natural selection) for the gradual transformation of species including human origins, even he sometimes expressed certain doubts about the origin of highly complex structures. This issue has been highly debated both within science and outsideit. Forinstance,arebirthoftheoldreligiousargumentofintelligentdesign has gained unexpected strength in the last few years.
