What is Chordate Origins and Evolution : The Molecular Evolutionary Road to Vertebrates about?

<i> <p>Chordate Origins and Evolution: The Molecular Evolutionary Road to Vertebrates</i> focuses on echinoderms (starfish, sea urchins, and others), hemichordates (acorn worms, etc.), cephalochordates (lancelets), urochordates or tunicates (ascidians, larvaceans and others), and vertebrates. In general, evolution of these groups is discussed independently, on a larger scale: ambulacrarians (echi hemi) and chordates (cephlo uro vert). Until now, discussion of these topics has been somewhat fragmented, and this work provides a unified presentation of the essential information.</p> <p>In the more than 150 years since Charles Darwin proposed the concept of the origin of species by means of natural selection, which has profoundly affected all fields of biology and medicine, the evolution of animals (metazoans) has been studied, discussed, and debated extensively. Following many decades of classical comparative morphology and embryology, the 1980s marked a turning point in studies of animal evolution, when molecular biological approaches, including molecular phylogeny (MP), molecular evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), and comparative genomics (CG), began to be employed.
