Textbook Question
Chapter 22.2, Problem 2CC
WHAT IF? Ø If you discovered a fossil of an extinct mam- mal that lived high in the Andes, would you predict that it would more closely resemble present-day mammals from South American jungles or present-day mammals that live high in Asian mountains? Explain.

What evidence shows that the most recent common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans was much more arboreal than modern humans are? We spoke of paleoenvironmental processes that changed the ecological environmental conditions in Africa somewhere around 7 million years in Africa: which are they? How would have these processes might have selected for a less arboreal lifestyle in the human lineage? Why did the same changes not evolve in the chimpanzee lineage?

How old are the first recognizable mammals relative to the K/T boundary layer (i.e., extinction of the dinosaurs), and from what reptilian lineage did they evolve? Is this lineage the same reptilian lineage that gave rise to birds? How are these lineages distinguished? Hold old are the first fossil birds? What other plant/animal lineages first became widespread in the Tertiary that were less common in the Cretaceous?..
WHAT IF? Fossils show that dinosaurs originated200–250 million years ago. Would you expect the geographic distribution of early dinosaur fossils to be broad(on many continents) or narrow (on one or a few continents only)? Explain.

It is only the second fossil of its kind. It shows an animal that had a long-feathered tail and small teeth, like non-avian dinosaurs. But the animal also had flight feathers and wings, like modern birds. The fossil also shows a fused clavicle bone, which confirms the relationship between birds and dinosaurs because they are the only two groups with this characteristic. What is true about this scenario? It shows evidence of evolution. It shows evidence of widespread expression. It shows evidence of climate change. It shows evidence of causation.arrow_forward
- Ardi (Ardipithecus ramidus) lived 4.4 million years ago, close to the time that our lineage diverged from chimpanzees suggesting that Ardi might be more similar to the last common ancestor than extant chimpanzees or humans. Ardi has small teeth like ours, indicative of a generalized diet. So small teeth are older than larger teeth of extant chimpanzees! Ardi also had limbs shaped more like ours than chimpanzees’. Ardi’s skull also shares other features with ours – for example, it is relatively narrow. The hypothesis we tested assumed that the hominin ancestor resembled chimpanzees, and the assumption was quite common among paleoanthropologists until recently (Lovejoy, 2009). Considering both these data about Ardi and the data that you took, revise your hypothesis.

Tiger Moths (Bertholdia trigona) produce high pitched ultrasonic clicking (at a rate of 4500 clicks/sec) when they hear the echolocation calls of bats (bats eat moths). As a result, the bat's sonar is jammed and the Tiger Moth escapes without being caught, killed, and eaten.
