The individual chapters in this volume deal with homology on all levels, from molecular to behavioural, with a comparative, interdisciplinary approach. The book has been produced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Sir Richard Owen's paper distinguishing homology and analogy.
Homology, the similarity between organisms that is due to common ancestry, is the central concept of all comparative biology. However, the application of this concept varies depending on the data being examined. This volume represents a state-of-the-art treatment of the different applications of this unifying concept. Chapters deal with homology on all levels, from molecules to behavior, and are authored by leading contributors to systematics, natural history, and evolutionary, developmental, and comparative biology.
