Ghost Town

After reading the article doing some MUCH needed editing I realized how long It has been since anyone edited the page. Comparative Anatomy is seriously lacking in edits. By now I thought this article would have a lot more information or at LEAST some saboteurs or something! If anyone out there is interested, please contribute and I will help.

No Cuvier?

Why no mention of Georges Cuvier, founding father of comparative anatomy and giant in the field (see the Wikipedia article on GC)? It's like discussing evolution without mentioning Darwin. 213.7.17.134 (talk) 09:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Animal anatomy

What sort of redirect page is this? Morphology => Comparative anatomy? That is a MESS! Berton 16:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Comparing anatomy is most defiantly a useful technique, but it is not the whole story of animal anatomy. I have been advocating that we massively boost the amount of info wikipedia provides on this issue. It could be both interesting and informative, but right now it not anything at all, as it doesn't exist on the site. I propose the following pages to be created:

animal anatomy or zootomy - the parent page (perhaps with this article merged into it)
- vertebrate anatomy
  - mammal anatomy (perhaps also marsupial anatomy and montreme anatomy)
  - bird anatomy - there is already a bird skeleton article, and more than enough info can be taken from the bird article
  - reptile anatomy (as of 08/05/06 redirects to reptile)
  - amphibian anatomy
  - bony fish anatomy
    - cartilaginous fish anatomy
- invertebrate anatomy
  - crustacean anatomy
  - insect anatomy etc...

The list could go on forever, I'm not sure whether ALL the possible articles deserve to exist, but most certainly the mammal/bird/reptile/amphibian/fish ones do, as that is what we all grown up with as the five main animal groups from early school. These article currently exist to deal with this field:

cat anatomy - poor
dog anatomy - good, but isn't really anatomy, more their physical appearance
frog zoology - good
[category:horse anatomy] - a whole category, with articles such as equine forelimb anatomy
bird skeleton - good

I have to admit I am no expert, I propose this in the hope that someone who is can help. What does everyone think? mastodon 15:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I'm suggestion merging comparative anatomy with comparative vertebrate anatomy, since the latter is even more of a stub than this, and a single page will be more than sufficient to explain the subject in detail. I'm going to completely re-write the page once the merge is complete. Mokele (talk) 20:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Edits to History

The introduction of Vesalius and his critique of Galen is rather abrupt - who are they and what is their connection to human anatomy. This is compounded by the disconnect with the previous paragraph; in fact, the time-line with the other material is confusing because your addition would have preceded the content mention in previous paragraphs. The format of the foot-note is very messy with the superscript and illogical line shift. I wonder if a University web site requires mention of all the members of the staff - not sure; however, the list could grow very long if all staff members have to be accounted for.--JimmyButler (talk) 16:08, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I used a citation generator and it asked for the coauthors. So I found the credits for the site and used all the names...I have also reordered the paragraphs to make more sense and expanded a bit more on Galen and Vesalius--Artemis Gray (talk) 23:48, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated text in picture's caption

Have a look in the first picture in this page, the picture of the Dolphin and the Shark. take a close look at it's caption. what "Ogga Bogga Chicken Fart" has to do with anything here? I tried to take it out but can't find how. when you try to edit this part, you see that the caption is all right with no ogga's but when you view the article it does appear...
