This chunky little ancestor has had a huge influence on modern humans‚ as well! Over a million years of hefty evolution is tough to slim down! From this point on we see some of the large – even gigantic human forms develop. Homo Heidelbergensis Homo heidelbergensis lived in Europe and Western Asia from at least 600‚000-200‚000 years ago‚ and may date in Africa‚ as far back as 1.3 million years.

Living organisms survive due to their ability to adapt to their environment through natural selection. Horses have existed for millions of years‚ but observing a Hyracotherium‚ we may have not been able to recognize it as a horse due to the changes that have occurred since the Eocene epoch. These changes in environment have changed the equine morphology to improve its fitness to the horse we understand today by changing its skull‚ teeth‚ and limbs. Hyracotherium fossils suggest that this horse
