Synapsid Evolution

Synapsid Evolution is a biological evolutionary framework that delineates the phylogenetic development and morphological diversification of synapsids, a monophyletic clade of amniotes characterized by a single temporal fenestra, from their early Paleozoic origins through the transition to mammals, distinguishing it from other vertebrate evolutionary lineages by its unique cranial architecture and progressive acquisition of mammalian traits.
