Chapter 30.3, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the discovery of Hox genes helped biologists to understand animal evolution.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is a rapidly changing field. Even if the members of animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom. Biologists mostly depend on the fossils to compare the similarities of body plan and the pattern of development to determine the evolutionary relationships among various animal groups.

We are sure that our closest living relatives
are chimpanzees. There is a saying that that
humans evolved from chimpanzees. Explain
why this is not an accurate view of human
evolution. In your answer:
• be sure to indicate what misconceptions
about evolution this view illustrates, and
explain why there are physical similarities and
differences between humans and
chimpanzees (do NOT list the differences,
just explain why/how they exist).

- This module aims to help learners understanu different pieces evidence of evolution and how to evidence to infer the evolutionary relationship between organisms. The teacher may connect the concepts underlying the patterns of descent with modification to the lesson today by pointing out that Darwin's theory of evolution is based from the inferences that he had made after his 5-year journey aboard HMS Beagles. Notes to the TeuU us What's New On the left are the structural palms organisms or species of of different primates. Tarsiers are one of the small species of primates commonly found at tropical islands like Bohol in the Visayas Islands of the Philippines. Gibbons are small apes commonly found in the forests of Southeast Asian countries, Chimpanzees are few of the considered "smart" animals and humans are believed to be the highest form of "thinking organisms" on Earth.

I decide to use teat number as a character (trait) for inferring their phylogeny. I do some research into other squirrels and mammals and discover the following: • Mammals and other squirrels only have even numbers of teats. Teat number appears to be unrelated to any other morphologic trait. • The MRCA of all mammals, and therefore all squirrels, also had teats. Which of the following characteristics (either required of traits used in phylogenetic reconstruction, or desired) does teat number appear to have? Choose all that apply.
