mammalian evolution towards colonization of land‚ however in some instances this trend has been reversed; there are three large orders of mammals that have separately re-adapted to marine life‚ the Cetacea (whales‚ dolphins and porpoises)‚ the Pinnipedia (seals‚ sea lions and walruses)‚ and the Sirenia (dugongs‚ sea cows and manatees). This “re-adaptation” is most extreme in the cetaceans which have evolved a totally fish-like form‚ masking their true mammalian ancestry (Coffey‚ 1977). The evolution of

The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity‚ from the earliest algal mats‚ through bryophytes‚ lycopods‚ ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive‚ especially in the environments in which they evolved‚ each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. Probably an algal scum formed on land 1‚200 million years ago. In the Ordovician period

These fish closely relate to ecology and evolution. The researchers original findings are different than that of Robinson’s field study. His hypothesis states that the threespine sticklebacks varied phenotypes are the handiwork of natural selection supporting the discrepancy in the population. Diet and the

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.

Evolutionary Psychology The Evolution of Female Breasts and Breasts as Sexual Signals Female breasts always seem to be a ‘hot’ topic‚ even from an evolutionary standpoint! Human females have larger breasts than all their nonhuman primates. Many studies have been conducted on the function and purpose of the large female breasts. Human females have breasts that have evolved to always be prominent after puberty‚ a physical characteristic that has been found to be attractive to our male ancestors
