The course consists in 48 hours of lectures with the help of PowerPoint presentations. The two teachers participating in the course teaching, one, human anatomy for 4 CFU and the other, comparative anatomy for 2 CFU, will coordinate in such a way that all the treated topics are from both points of view, that of human anatomy and that of comparative anatomy, which also allows a fuller understanding of the human anatomy. With the analysis of the similarities and the anatomical-functional differences, indeed, comparative anatomy is able to unveil the laws that regulate the organization of an organism and to reconstruct its evolutionary history. This interdisciplinary vision finds, as a unifying moment, the theory of biological evolution since, citing Theodosius Dobzhansky, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."
