Concept explainers

Primate evolution

Primates are a relatively new species and first appeared in the fossil record nearly 55 million years ago. They may have originated as far back as the cretaceous period. Their fossils were observed in North America, Asia, and Europe. Long before the first monkeys and their prosimian relatives developed, most animal species thrived and died. The first primates did not exist until about 50-55 million years ago, even though the planet is 4.54 billion years old and the first life goes back at least 3.5 billion years. Dinosaurs had been extinct for 10 to 15 million years when this happened.

Which observation is NOT an evidence for Darwin's theory of common descent? Group of answer choices There are biogeographic patterns in the distribution of species, for instance distinct bird species on an island tend to resemble. Anatomical structures, such as forelimbs, in different groups appear to be modified versions of structures that might have been present in a common ancestor. There are common stages in the early embryological development of organisms representing several distinct vertebrate groups. Due to innate drive to improve, parts that are extensively used becomes larger and stronger and passed on to the next generation as seen on fossil records.
Answer the following: This spectacular animal is a Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisea minor, from the highlands of Papua New Guinea. In the context of various evolutionary phenomena, why do you suppose: (a) This bird is confined to New Guinea and two nearby islands? Why would you not expect to find it in the mountains of Borneo? Explain in detail. (b) This spectacular tail presumably attracts predators; why hasn't natural selection acted to reduce it or camouflage it? Explain in detail.

A skeptic of evolution asks the following question – “If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” Use your understanding of primate evolution to explain to this individual why their view of primate evolution is skewed. Reference examples.
Only when extensive genetic data became available were scientists able to definitively resolve the relationship between humans, chimpanzees and gorillas. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve. Important point. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve?? I don't really see that in your answer. I posted this question 3 times but answer given me wrong.
Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals; (2) some of that variation is heritable; (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources; (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring; (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.
You want to distinguish between two hypotheses to explain the patterns you see: 1) Males not feeding the young is an adaptation to dimorphism 2) If males don't feed the young in a species, it will allow them to become brightly colored To begin to address this question, map the characters changes in dimorphism and males feeding the young onto each of the trees on the previous page. CHARACTER SEXUAL DIMORPHISM MALES FEED YOUNG Cassin's Vireo No No Red Fox Sparrow Cape May Warbler Cedar Waxwing Golden-Crowned Kinglet Pyrrhuloxia Yes No No No No Yes No Yes Yes No California Gull No Yes Note: This data is fictional 5) Which of the hypotheses in part 4 is consistent with your analysis? Explain why in a brief paragraph.

Include the factors that have contributed to the variation of the finches - 1. Geospiza magnirostris 2. Geospiza Fortis 3. Geospiza parzula 4. Geospiza olivacea
Darwin's concept of evolution "the theory of decent with modification through variation and natural selection" can best be demonstrated by which of the following examples? a. A giraffe stretches his neck to reach higher branches. The exercise of stretching up strengthens the muscles in the giraffe's neck and legs. This ability to stretch is also seen in the giraffe's offspring. b. A monkey accidentally drops her fruit in the salty water of a bay. She recovers the fruit and eats it. She discovers the fruit is cleaner and tastes better after it has been in the salty water. She continues to wash the fruit in the bay before eating it. Her offspring see what she has done and also wash their fruit in the salty water. Soon, the whole population of monkeys is washing their fruit. c. Several turtles hatch from a clutch of eggs buried in the sand on a beach. One of the turtles is the color of the sand; the others are darker in color. The turtles scurry toward the water,…
With which of the following statements would a biologist be most likely to agree? O Humans evolved from chimpanzees. Humans and other apes are the result of disruptive selection in a species of chimpanzee O Humans and other apes represent divergent lines of evolution from a common ancestor. Humans represent the pinnacle of evolution and have escaped from being affected by natural selection.
describe at least one reason why Darwin was right and Lamarck was wrong when it came to explaining evolution, using giraffes to explain your reasoning.
Look at the last sentence in Chapter 7 from the first edition of the Origin. It’s a remarkable sentence. Describe in your own words what Darwin is saying. Finally, it may not be a logical deduction, but to my imagination it is far more satisfactory to look at such instincts as the young cuckoo ejecting its foster-brothers,-ants making slaves, -the larvae of Ichneumonidae feeding within the live bodies of caterpillars,-not as specially endowed or created instincts, but as small consequences of one general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.
