What is anatomy?
Study of different structural forms - allows us to find relationships between organisms
The branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living
organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts.
Evolutionary Origins of Humans
Introduction to anatomy, a brief summary of its history and the language used 2
, Where did humans come from and how
did we get here?
Homo sapiens - Class Mammalia
and Order of primates in mammalian
class
Dimetrodon - apex predator early
Permian period 300-280 million
years ago
Relationship between mammals and
mammal-like structure is based on
reptiles/birds can be shown via skull
comparative structure of patterns - in
anatomy over time
the temporal fenestra (posterior part
of skull) Synapsids
mammal-like reptile = synapsids
they evolved into mammals over
time
Postorbital, squamosal and jugal
bones ONLY
Types of mammals
