About this product
Product Information
Humans and flies look nothing alike, yet their genetic circuits are remarkably similar. Here, Lewis I. Held, Jr compares the genetics and development of the two to review the evidence for deep homology, the biggest discovery from the emerging field of evolutionary developmental biology. Remnants of the operating system of our hypothetical common ancestor 600 million years ago are compared in chapters arranged by region of the body, from the nervous system, limbs and heart, to vision, hearing and smell. Concept maps provide a clear understanding of the complex subjects addressed, while encyclopaedic tables offer comprehensive inventories of genetic information. Written in an engaging style with a reference section listing thousands of relevant publications, this is a vital resource for scientific researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students.

Reviews
Advance praise: 'The book is a great learning tool and valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of developmental genetics and evolutionary biology. The author, himself an expert in Drosophila development, gives an in depth overview of the research into how genes control the processes by which simple embryos turn into complex organisms. He draws out in a clear and concise manner the parallels that unite all animals in regard to developmental mechanisms and the underlying gene networks. The way it is conceived the book follows a novel and highly original approach, by directly drawing comparisons between known gene functions and mutant phenotypes in fruit flies and clinical syndromes caused by mutations in homologous genes in humans. As a result, Deep Homology? reaches beyond the basic science arena and will be a relevant and inspiring read for a broad readership interested in the biological underpinnings of human health and disease.'
