Giraffids first arose 8 million years ago (mya) in south-central Europe during the Miocene epoch. The superfamily Giraffoidea‚ together with the family Antilocapridae (whose only extant species is the pronghorn)‚ evolved from the extinct family Palaeomerycidae.[9] The earliest known giraffid was the deer-like Climacoceras

Studies have been conducted for this controversy to try and find which theory to accept for the songbirds.

This collage gathers all these man-made animals‚ with different colors and species of animals mixed together and creates a strong visual impact on the audience.

    will bring new alleles to the population that were not there before; but could also exist in other species of the same gene pool. Alleles come from mutations since the beginning of time. They have been introduced and have changed the genetic makeup of the population over and over again‚ and have been passed on from one to another. These mutations can sometimes be harmful to the species‚ but the species will change and adapt to these mutations. New alleles are not created during sexual reproduction

We will discuss the reasons for longevity in the evolvement of the human species. Diamond addresses through chapter seven‚ how aging and menopause are strongly connected to longevity. Men and women have been tested in various different ways to solve the mystery behind the theory that reproduction is the cause of post-generative

    Adaptive introgression has proven to have many adaptive values and affects the genomic variation of humans and many other species. Many populations display examples of introgression. In the article prof. Haws and Cochran talk about introgression and how it affects it affects genomic variation among humans and other species. Introgression has proven to have adaptive values and is quantifiable. It can have several outcomes; it can reduce fitness and create sterility‚ but at the same time it can help
