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‚

The idea that the giraffe got its long neck due to food shortages in the lower reaches of trees seems almost self-evident.

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.

one species exists today—Homo sapiens‚ or human beings. Dr. Alistair Evans and his colleagues based their study off of hominin tooth sizes while trying to figure out what rule governed the evolution and development of teeth in hominins. This study provides a development-based expectation to examine the evolution of the unique proportions of human teeth. While on their journey‚ Dr. Evans and his crew found two types of hominins: the species that we classify as Homo and australopiths. These scientists
