Abstract

The notion of common plans persists today in the Bauplan, from the German meaning groundplan, or an Architect's sketch or plan (Bau, design, type of construction, structure, form; plan, plan, design, intention). The term was introduced into morphology by Woodger (1945) and although more or less assimilated into biology, it has not been incorporated into general use outside of science, unlike terms such as `evolution' or `species', or phrases such as `survival of the fittest'.
