Description

Explore the fascinating world of animal protuberances with this comprehensive study from Springer. From ancient cave drawings to modern biological science, humans have long been captivated by the presence of horns and antlers in the animal kingdom. This book examines the historical significance of these structures, ranging from mythical creatures like the unicorn to the perceived medicinal properties of rhinoceros horns and growing antlers. Beyond biology, the text explores the social impact of these features.

This work provides a deep look into the evolution, morphology, and physiology of these unique biological traits, making it an essential resource for those interested in animal sciences and the historical relationship between humans and the natural world.
