Uberon Homology note : When approaching controversies surrounding skin evolution, we need to remember that
the skin consists of two layers, an epidermis and a dermis, not a single evolving
structure. (...) It is little wonder that controversies about homology exist. If we
think of the epidermis, the dermis, and their interactions as an evolving unit, then
their specialized products (hair, feathers, and reptilian scales) are broadly homologous.[well
