Bateson broke completely with the Dohrn-Semper view that the metamerism of Articulatesand Vertebrates must be put down to inheritance from a common ancestor.
The idea upon which is based the comparison of Articulates with Vertebrates is that each skeletal segment of Articulates is a vertebra.
If the skeleton of the segment inArticulates corresponds to the body of a vertebra and is here external, then the appendages of the Articulate must correspond to ribs (p.
The appendages ofArticulates and Vertebrates were thought of as the members of as many separate organisms.
