Evolutionary Cell Processes in Primates (eBook, ePUB)

Bone, Brains, and Muscle, Volume I
Redaktion: Pitirri, M. Kathleen; Richtsmeier, Joan T.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume demonstrates the role of cellular mechanisms producing traits defining primates such as encephalization and various sensory systems. We highlight how genetic analysis, tissue and cell visualization, and merging Evo-Devo with cell biology combine to answer questions central to understanding human and primate evolution.
