ulation are an example of evolution?    Simulation:  For this lab, the dominant allele for normal fur pigmentation (gray) is represented by G and the recessive allele for leucistic pigmentation is represented by g. Squirrels that inherit two G alleles (homozygous dominant) or one G and one g allele (heterozygous) have normal pigmentation, while squirrels that inherit two gs (homozygous recessive) have leucistic pigmentation. Due to the difficulty of leucisitc squirrels to camouflage themselves against predators, in each generation, 50% of the gg individuals will die off from predation before they can reach maturity. This means they will not be able to pass their genes on to the next generation.

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.
