## Abstract Inferences about how the complex somatosensory systems of anthropoid primates evolved are based on comparative studies of such systems in extant mammals. Experimental studies of members of the major clades of extant mammals suggest that somatosensory cortex of early mammals consisted of
The few available observations are consistent with the supposition that the relative weightlessness of fishes leads to isometric scaling of skeletal mass to body mass. To explore further this pattern we studied scaling in ontogeny with freshwater tilapia, Oreochromis nilotica, and in phylogeny with
