Book excerpt: This book introduces students to the groups of vertebrates and explores the anatomical evolution of vertebrates within the context of the functional interrelationships of organs and the changing environments to which vertebrates have adapted.

This integration adds a new dimension to our understanding of structure and helps students understand the evolution of vertebrates.
