result of convergent evolution because cetaceans have evolved to be more equipped for an aquatic lifestyle. Rather‚ it is a remnant feature of life on land (Rose‚ 2001). Despite this evidence‚ other scientists argue that tooth morphology of ancient cetaceans is not consistent with artiodactyls. Instead‚ tooth and some skull features are more similar to the carnivorous mesonychians. However‚ this morphology is argued by opponents to be most likely a result of convergent evolution (Rose‚

Human Evolution Who we are as a species‚ and where we came from; make up the basis of a fantastic story‚ spanning more than 4 million years. The search for the origins of humanity will be a story of bones and the tales they tell. It’s a story that begins in Africa‚ where our ancestors first stood up.Over millions of years they continued to evolve and eventually spread out across the globe. Some species adapted to the changing world‚ while others went extinct. Today only a single species

Chiang Mr. Holmes AP Biology – Period 1A 24 November 2014 How is the Human Race Still Evolving Today? Evolution is the descent of organisms from common ancestors with the development of genetic and phenotypic changes over time that makes them more suited to the environment. However‚ with how advanced and dominant human society is compared to the rest of the world‚ many ponder whether evolution is still happening for the human race. We can see signs that we‚ as humans‚ are still evolving through

Alondra Mota 4/12/12 Per.5 Once scientists began thinking about animals in terms of evolution‚ the giraffe became a seemingly straightforward example. It is as if the giraffe ’s long neck was begging to be explained by evolutionary theorists. The idea that the giraffe got its long neck due to food shortages in the lower reaches of trees seems almost self-evident. The giraffe is taller than all other mammals‚ can feed where no others can‚ and therefore has a distinct advantage. It seems compelling

The Evolution of Policing Loretta A Chapman CJU230BO8 Author Note Abstract For an accurate look into the evolution of the function of police in society‚ I believe we must go through the history of police. It is a long history so I will focus on the origins and the most important advances. The first persons made to perform what we now realize to be police duties‚ occurred during the Ancient Era‚ between 3000 BC and 400 AD. Captured Nubian slaves were made to perform the police function of watch

Evolution of the Earth The planet earth has gone through much abuse and punishment in the past. Formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago‚ the earth has undergone multiple catastrophic asteroids erasing species after species. Due to geologic evidence‚ it is estimated over 90 percent of all life that had ever lived in this planet have been extinct. No more than the past 500 million years alone‚ 50-90 percent of all organisms on earth were wiped out of the geological timeline without any warning

PAPER TITLE: INDUSTRY EVOLUTION PAPER SUBTITLE: FRAGMENTED INDUSTRY AND CONSOLIDATED INDUSTRY 1.0 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to know the industries grow through a series of stages from growth through maturity to decline. The industry life cycle is useful for explaining and expecting trends among the six forces that drive industry competition. There are two types of industry which are fragmented industry and consolidated industry. Fragmented industry occurs when the people

ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION In our studies of the anatomy and development of animals we have discovered that many living creatures that look quite different on the surface have similarities underneath their skin that suggest that they are related to each other. This is evidence that living creatures have evolved‚ or gradually changed over time. In this lab‚ you will learn about homologous‚ analogous‚ and vestigial structures and their value as evidence for evolution. INSTRUCTIONS A. HOMOLOGOUS

-- -- - The Evolution of XTP† Greg Chesson Silicon Graphics Computer Systems Mountain View‚ Ca 94039-7311 greg@sgi.com Abstract The design of XTP has been a 3 year process so far with roots traceable to work in the 1970’s and 80’s. There have been roughly ten distinct revisions of the protocol. Since Revision 3.4 in June 1989 there has been an effort to stabilize the design. This has been accomplished. The most recent versions - Revision 3.4 and 3.5 - were about 14 months apart whereas
