A presentation of all aspects of neural crest cell origins (embryological and evolutionary), development and evolution; neural crest cell behavior (migration) and anomalies (neurocristopathies and birth defects) arising from defective neural crest development.

Although evolutionary developmental biology is a new field, its origins lie in the last century; Evolutionary developmental biology is however more than just a fusion of the fields of developmental and evolutionary biology.
