From lancelets to sea squirts to sharks, Balfour compares how different animals build their bodies before birth. Volume three of his works carries his embryology across the lower chordates and fishes, tracing shared patterns of development. Detailed comparative science at a high level. See how distant creatures share the same developmental blueprint.
