The evolution of man: a popular exposition of the principal points of human ontogeny and phylogenyFrom the German of Ernst Haeckel . Fig. 251. Fig. 252. 28o THE EVOLUTION OF MAN. Fig. 253.—Human vertebralcolntnn (in an up-right position;from the rightside). (After H.Meyer.) right side (without arms); Fig. 252, theentire skeleton from the front.) In Man, as in all other Mammals, the skeleton isprimarily distinguishable into the axialskeleton, or spine, and the skeleton of theappendages, or the bony frame of the limbs.The spine consists of the vertebral columnand of the skull; the latter being the pecu-liarly modified anterior part of the former.The ribs are the appendages of the vertebralcolumn; the tongue-bone (os linguce), thelower jaw, and the other products of thegill-arches, are those of the skull. Theskeletons of the two pairs of limbs, or ex-tremities, are composed of two differentparts : of the bony frame of the actual, pro-minent extremities, and of the inner girdleskeleton, by which the limbs are attachedto the vertebral column. The girdle skele-ton of the arms (or fore limbs) is thes
