I was a little confused about the article's description of the role of genomics in comparative anatomy. I think this could be cleared up by adding a section on phylogeny and explaining that the trees are made from genetic data, but the physical characteristics derived from anatomical structures is mapped onto those trees. I think is an important aspect because it shows the relationships between species, which is a large part of comparative anatomy. This addition could be expanded upon to list some of the major groups and taxa that are being studied.

This could tie into another section on form and function that relates to the homologous and analogous definitions on the page.
