A millipede has how many legs on each segment of its body?
How the Snake Lost Its Legs fly embryo. His books on evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) include "Imaginal Discs: The Genetic and Cellular Logic of Pattern Formation" (2002), "Quirks of Human Anatomy: An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body" (2009), and "Deep Homology? Uncanny Similarities of Humans and Flies Uncovered by Evo-Devo" (2017). In Held's view, "Quirks", "Snake", and "Deep Homology" form a trilogy on evo-devo. "How the Snake Lost Its Legs" is ostensibly organised into six chapters, but in effect into three parts. The first chapter serves as an introduction and overview. The next four chapters provide what Held calls "the meatier aspects of evo-devo" with
Millipede Millipede Millipedes are a group of arthropods that are characterised by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments; they are known scientifically as the class Diplopoda, the name being derived from this feature. Each double-legged segment is a result of two single segments fused together. Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter and can roll into a ball. Although the name "millipede" derives from the Latin for "thousand feet", no known species has 1,000; the record of 750 legs belongs to "Illacme plenipes". There are
