Chapter 18, Problem 7FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Nearly 475 million years ago, some of these algae gave rise to “multicellular land plants”. After land plants evolved, providing the potential source of food for other animals, animals emerged from the water (sea, ocean and so on). The first animals to move out of the water were arthropods. About 400 million years ago lobefins appeared and from them amphibians evolved.
