that’s changed; It’s all living things. This change over time or ‘development’ is called evolution. Evolution is the change of (heritable) traits in different organisms over time. If you’re thinking apes becoming humans you’re already wrong. There’s even evidence of evolution like fossils‚ DNA samples‚ similarities in bone structure‚ and even vestigial organs. The purpose of this lab is to see how evolution works and whether it is a reliable theory. Hypothesis: If there are 11 skulls that all have

Environmental factors have always played a major role for evolution in any species; but what happens when survival of the fittest no longer applies to an entire race. In the winter animals grow heavier fur to prepare for the cold months ahead‚ what do humans do? We turn up the heat and put on a jacket. Technological advances relieve humans of many duties they once needed to perform on their own means. Calculators have caused us to avoid using mental math to figure numbers out.

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‚

In modern terms‚ we can define evolution as a change over time in the genetic composition of a population. Evolution also refers to the gradual appearance of all biological diversity. Evolution is such a fundamental concept that its study is relevant to biology at every level‚ from molecules to ecosystems. Evolutionary perspectives continue to transform medicine

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.
