Variations of Human Anatomy.

F. j. Shepherd, VI. d. says in the Pop
uldr Science Wohthly: 1t may not be gen,
orally known that no two individuals
have exactly the same anatomical struc-
ture, and that nearly every one has in
him some bony prominence, supernumer-
airy muscle, or abnormal blood vessel,
which tells the tale of his descent. Dur
ing the past nine years have been teach
ing anatomy, and nearly three hundred
subjects have been dissected under my
immediate supervision; in these | have
carefully noted the variations occurring,
with the result of finding that scarcely
one body is perfectly normal in every
part-nay, many are very abnormal, hav-
ing as many as thirty to forty variations
in their bones, muscles, or arteries.
have found variations to occur more fire.
quently in negro and Indian subjects
than in those of European descent.
When variation in bone, muscle, OF
blood-vessel is found, the first question
asked is, What is its morphology2 and
it is the exception not to be able to make
it out; if one fails, it is concluded that
our knowledge is deficient, and that the
variation has a history, if we could only
discover it.
Many variations are explained when
an appeal is made to comparative anat-
omy, a science which is as yet very in
complete, but which is rapidly charging
its boundaries. Some animals we know
by their fossil remains and in these
merely their bony structure can be stud
led; all the soft parts are, of course, lost
forever, and can only be approximately
restored by our knowledg Of allied ex-
listing types of the same animals.
