Which statement is false? Chimpanzees have their vocal cords situated higher in the pharynx than in humans. All mammal species can choke (obstruction of windpipe) on food. The fact that we can choke on our food is an evolutionary compromise that is largely compensated that we have the capacity to speak. Choking is partly a consequence of the fact that there is a space between the posterior end of the soft palate and the dorsal tip of the epiglottis.

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
