About Embryo Geometry: The Origin Of Anatomy
A proposed solution to one of the great mysteries of science is announced in the publication of "Embryo Geometry," by chemist and biologist Stuart Pivar, with illustrations by molecular biologist Peter Sheesley. The origin of the shapes and forms of the plant and animal body, long suspected to be encoded in the DNA and driven by natural selection, is demonstrated to derive instead from simple geometrical patterns formed by the dividing embryonic egg cells. We look on the primal symmetry of natural forms with wonder, in ignorance of their cause. This book reveals the step by step development of the embryo from a single cell by the formation and deformation of the bands of cells called the blastula—the barcode for the body. The many drawings depict the topological origin of the regular skin patterns of birds, reptiles, fish and quadrupeds.
