Symmorphosis: On Form and Function in Shaping Life
Ewald R. Weibel
Are animals designed economically? The theory of symmorphosis predicts that the size of the parts in a system must be matched to the overall functional demand. Weibel shows how animals as different as shrews, pronghorns, dogs, goats—even humans—all develop from essentially the same blueprint by variation of design.
