How have changes in ocean chemistry in the past affected the development of marine organisms? What can the microstructure of fossil bone and teeth reveal about maturation time, longevity and changes in growth phases? Embryos in Deep Time is a critical synthesis and review of concepts from comparative anatomy, ecology, and developmental genetics that addresses these and similar questions. This book illustrates how fossils provide evidence not only of adult anatomy but also of the life history of individuals at different growth stages. A central topic of Biology - the transformations occurring during the life of an organism and the mechanisms behind them - is addressed in an integrative and comparative manner, revealing that fossils offer unique insights into core ideas of evolution and development..
