Explore evolutionary and developmental patterns in this Japanese lecture from the 17th MACS Colloquium at Kyoto University, delivered by Dr. Shigeru Kuratani from RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research. Delve into the historical foundations of evolutionary developmental biology, beginning with the contributions of Goethe and von Baer, followed by Haeckel's influence on the birth of evolution and development concepts. Learn about developmental constraints, Severtsov's phylogenetic theory and evolution, and examine specific evolutionary case studies including turtle evolution as archallaxis, the development of the sternum and ribs, cyclostome evolution, and whale evolution. The lecture, originally broadcast via Zoom on November 19, 2021, provides comprehensive insights into the patterns and mechanisms of evolutionary development.
