Difference between 2015 in science and Mammal

2015 in science vs. Mammal

A number of significant scientific events occurred in 2015. Mammals are the vertebrates within the class Mammalia (from Latin mamma "breast"), a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from reptiles (including birds) by the possession of a neocortex (a region of the brain), hair, three middle ear bones, and mammary glands.
