Book V examines the link between the development of the human race through evolution (phylogeny) and development of the individual human through a single life cycle (ontogeny). This is elaborated using comparative evolution of embryology, skeletal systems, respiratory systems, dentition, ear bones, locomotion, cranial somites, and cranial nerves. The book also investigates the connection of dermatomes to the rest of the body, as well as the idea that the study of optimal functioning requires a look at the integration and balance of all the body's systems (neuro-muscular-skeletal anatomy).
