Summary

Evo-devo has come a long way since its origins a mere four decades ago. Many exciting things have been discovered, and there will be many more discoveries to come in the years ahead. I have tried, in this book, to give you a flavour of this new branch of science. Here, I summarize what I think are its most important conclusions so far and the most important challenges that lie ahead.
