Abstract
Cephalic development involves extremely complex morphogenetic mechanisms built on conserved elements that have undergone enormous evolutionary changes. Transient expressions of phylogenetic origins characterize ontogeny so that the development of the human nose fleetingly reflects different evolutionary stages. In this way, it can be said that development mirrors evolution.

Experiments in different mammals (cattle, goats, rabbits, mice, rats, hamsters, etc.) have shown that the activity of the alkaloids found in Veratrum californicum were not specific for sheep.
