On Some Hitherto Unrecognized Reptilian Characters In The Skull Of The Insectivora And Other Mammals (1920)

On Some Hitherto Unrecognized Reptilian Characters In The Skull Of The Insectivora And Other Mammals is a scientific book written by Jacob Lawson Wortman and published in 1920. The book focuses on the examination of the skulls of various mammals, particularly those of the Insectivora order, to identify certain reptilian characteristics that were previously unidentified. Wortman's research was based on the comparative anatomy of the skulls of various mammals, including shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and others. He found that these skulls contained certain features that were similar to those found in reptilian skulls, such as the presence of a quadrate bone and a lower temporal bar. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Wortman's research. He discusses the various reptilian characters that he observed in the skulls of the mammals he examined, and he also provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of these features. Overall, On Some Hitherto Unrecognized Reptilian Characters In The Skull Of The Insectivora And Other Mammals is an important scientific work that sheds light on the evolution of mammals and their relationship to reptiles. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of comparative anatomy, evolutionary biology, and zoology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
