Comparative anatomy should be taught in high-school biology /&/ art classes …
A human man is shown next to a dog, the bones are highlighted on each animal and they are shown to be the same bone but in different proportions and ratios. What many people would think to be a dog’s upper leg is actually its lower leg, and what many people think is it slower leg is actually the equivalent of a human palm.

Corresponding bones are shown the same colours; for example, purple for humerus in the fore limb and femur in the hind limb. When the same bones shared between humans, large cats, and horses are pointed out, it is clear that many mammals have very similar skeletal structures regardless of their form of locomotion. Like the common misconception about dogs, the upper leg of most quadrupeds is hidden behind layers of muscle and fat, this is why colour coded Skelton diagrams are the most digestible forms of delivering information about the similarities and differences between human and animal anatomy.
