Somso Brain models of Vertebrates, C 1920.
On application
“Brain Models of Vertebrates of Ziegler’s series based on the work of Prof. Dr. A. Wiedersheim” is a classic comparative zoology teaching set originally derived from the anatomical work of Robert Wiedersheim, a prominent German comparative anatomist known for his studies of vertebrate morphology.
- Dog (Canis familiaris)
- Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
- Domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica)
- American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
- Frog (Rana esculenta)Dog (Canis familiaris)
- Trout (Salmo trutta fario)
- Small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)
- River lamprey (Petromyzon/Lampetra fluviatilis)
The model set contains enlarged brain models representing eight vertebrates arranged to illustrate evolutionary and comparative differences in brain structure:ach numbered brain is mounted separately on a stand and is not intended to be disassembled.
The set reflects the comparative-anatomy tradition of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Wiedersheim’s work, especially his textbook Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates, becaCanis familiaris)me a standard reference for understanding vertebrate evolution and morphology
