What is this course about? Human & Comparative Anatomy • Human Focuses on us, humans. • Comparative Examines similarities & differences among humans and other vertebrates. • Anatomy Tissue or organ level of structure. It’s basically a hybrid course focused on anatomy as a biological science.
Comparison - Homology • What does it mean to be “the same” thing?
“Modern” Types of Homology • Phylogenetic Homology = Homology of structures among different species. • Sexual Homology = Homology of structures among individuals of different sexes in the same species. • Serial Homology = Homology of structures within an organism. • Developmental Homology = Homology of structures within the same organism over time.

Inclusive Homology Definition • Homology = similarity due to continuity of biological information or instruction. VanValen, 1984/Hasprunar, 1992 • What is that information? Genes
Evolutionary Misconception • Misconception = Evolution is linearly directed with humans the “highest” organisms. • Common Decent = organisms share geneological descent; evolution = branching; NOT linear • Speciation forms new species (change independently).
Diagrams • Phylogenetic tree / Cladogram = Branching diagram that represents evolutionary relationships among species.
Monophyletic Group • Monophyletic group (Clade) = A group composed of an ancestor and all of its descendants; everything an ancestor becomes. • Considered to be a historical individual. • The ONLY taxonomic groups (above species) recognized to be real in this course.
Cladogram Shape • Cladograms can be drawn in many different ways. • The connections between organisms are the data. • Position does NOT infer progress. • Cladograms can be rotated around any node (the information does not change).

Data • Data = Variation among species. • E.g., members of two species may be white and the members of three species may be red. • BOTH red and white are NOT data. • The inferred transformation from white to red or red to white is the datum.
out group A B C D E Outgroup • Outgroup= species or group outside the group being studied. Compare traits in the species studied to the outgroup. To determine which is the “ancestral” trait.
Data • Outgroup species is white suggests... • Outgroup species is red suggests...
