“Lab Assignment #2 (Horse Evolution)” Through fossil records from Hyracotherium to Mesohippus to Merychippus to Pleshippus to the Equus‚ one can see the development of dentition‚ limbs and skull based on the environment that the horses adapted to with time. Environmental changes from the Eocene to the Holocene brought about natural selection as the horses’ initial characteristics could not adapt. In order to survive‚ horses evolved traits such as stronger limbs‚ tougher teeth and others that best

Evidence of the Eohippus was also found in the 1930s in Europe. The modern horse Equus (eck- wuss) evolved from the Pliohippus during the Pliocene (plahy-uh-seen) Epoch. The Pliocene Epoch ended 11‚700 years ago (AMNH‚ 2012). There were at least 15 species‚ each evolving into the next. There were many changes during the evolution

which branched off into different genera such as grazers‚ left browsers‚ and mixed feeders. Today the Equid family is only represented by Equus genus‚ that is composed of seven to nine species‚ including zebras‚ asses‚ donkeys‚ and horses. These species are also in the order Perissodactyla‚ or odd-toed animal. Tracking the line of descent from Hyracotherium to Equus reveals several evident patterns: degradation of toe number‚ increase increment of molar teeth‚ extending of the face‚ and growth in body
