Skulls of a variety of animals

We visited the Musee Fragonard at the Ecole Veterinaire d’Alfort in the first week of the program. The museum had a variety of anatomical oddities that were preserved as well as skeletons of different organisms throughout different periods of time. This visit is significant for recognizing the differences we have with our ancestors as well as the potential for mutations and defects that results in something extraordinary, such as mermaids and cyclops. This is important to our NBB class because the differences in skull sizes allows for us to see how our cognitive prowess originated as well as provide inferences for our behavior.
