Abstract
I was charged with providing an overview and background paper for the third day of the Workshop devoted to The Developmental Basis of Limb Evolution.“ As the Workshop has concentrated on skeletal tissues, I too will emphasize skeletal tissues and will attempt to place fin and limb skeletogenesis in the context of other vertebrate skeletal elements, both developmentally and evolutionarily. This picks-up a theme developed by Lewis Wolpert in his introduction to the Workshop, viz. that limb skeletogenesis should not be considered in isolation and that we should not expect the mechanisms of limb skeletogenesis to be unique.
