Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mammals belong to the synapsid lineage of amniotes. They are the first organisms to diversify on land. Mammals, further, have two lineages in which the organisms are categorized. They are Prototheria, egg-laying, marsupials, and placentals. These categories are based on the environment of the growth of the embryo.
