Chapter 32, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The myths about human population embraced by a popular culture that is needed to be corrected:
1) Humans have evolved from chimpanzees.
2) Evolution occurred in a steady linear progression from primitive primates to anatomically modern humans.
3) All human characteristics, such as bipedal locomotion and an enlarged brain, evolved simultaneously and at the same rate.
Introduction:
Human evolution is the process of evolution and development of modern humans, which have specialized features. One lineage called hominins, consists of humans and our bipedal ancestors. The other lineage called hominid includes humans, bipedal ancestors, and apes.

Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).
Field Notes: Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park (Grundy County, TN).
Laboratory Analysis:
Body: Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome.
Size: 63 cm
Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44.
Lignin test: Positive
Cuticle: Present
Leaves: Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores).
Roots: Present—branch from the inside.
Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present.
Life History: Diploid sporophyte dominant generation. Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte. Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced. Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte.
