Comparative embryology is the branch of embryology that compares and contrasts embryos of different species, showing how all animals are related.
HistoryEdit
Aristotle was the earliest person in recorded history to study embryos. Observing embryos of different species, he described how animals born in eggs (oviparously) and by live birth (viviparously) developed differently. He discovered there were two main ways the egg cell divided: holoblasticly, where the whole egg divided and became the creature; and meroblasticly, where only part of the egg became the creature. Further advances in comparative embryology did not come until the invention of the microscope. Since then, many people, from Ernst Haeckel to Charles Darwin, have contributed to the field.

ObjectivesEdit
The objectives of comparative embryology are to understand how embryos develop, and how all animals are related. It also supports evolutionary theory, in the sense that all vertebrates develop similarly and have a common ancestor.
