Course in Comparative anatomy
Comparative anatomy is a branch of biology that studies the anatomical similarities and differences between different animal species to understand evolution and phylogenetic relationships. By comparing anatomical structures such as organs, bones, muscles, and tissues, scientists can identify homologies (similarities due to a common ancestor) and analogies (similarities due to similar evolutionary pressures). This discipline helps to better understand the diversity of the animal kingdom and provides valuable insights into the evolutionary history of living organisms.
