Station 6: The Miocene: Gigantopithecus Gigantopithecus, which means “giant ape”, has been found in China, India, and Vietnam, dating as far back as 8 MYA, but as recent as 500,000 YA. Gigantopithecus Compare Gigantopithecus teeth and jaw to a Gorilla and a human (links are earlier in the lab). What similarities do you see? What differences do you see? What type of diet do you think Gigantopithecus subsisted on? Why do you think that?

TRUE OR FALSE 1. The fossil record provides a sweeping overview of the history of life over geologic record 2. A change in the regulation of a developmental gene may have fewer harmful side effects than a change to the sequence of the gene. 3. Synapsids possess an opening known as the occipital fenestra behind the eye socket 4. In some very late cynodont the articular and quadrate bones migrated into the ear region, where they functioned in transmitting sound 5. Fossils contain isotopes of molecules that accumulated in the organisms when they were alive.
GQ#14: Tiktaalik and Protarchaeopteryx are examples of transitional forms. In paleontology, what does transitional form mean?
Hello, I need help answering number 8 a, b, & c using the phylogeny below. Pls & thank you! 8. a) As you know, the largest mass extinction in the history of life on earth was the Permian extinction that occurred about 252 million years ago. The therapsids are often described as “mammal-like reptiles”. If the Permian extinction had caused the extinction of the therapsids, would mammals as we know them now have evolved? Why or why not? 8. b) Many lines of evidence, including biochemical evidence, show that living birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. A number of dinosaur lineages had feathered dinosaurs, not just the lineage that includes living birds. Do you think that is it justified to believe that all feathered dinosaurs had behaviors known from living birds? Such behaviors of birds include colonial nesting, sexual displays by males using feathers, males moving to display their ornamental feathers to female mates. Give a brief reason for your answer. 8. c) A…
n. Scientists have found one new fossil that is similar to Archaeopteryx. 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.

Species Embryo (A-F) Describe the Anatomical Changes from Early to Late Stages Human Chicken Rabbit Tortoise Salamander В Fish A Guide Questions: 1. Look again at the six embryos in their earliest stages. Describe the patterns you see. What physical similarities exist between each of the embryos? 2. Does this suggest an evolutionary relationship? Explain how these embryos can be used as evidence of a common ancestor between each of these six organisms.

The legend on the bottom left reflects three basic conditions that describe the character that pertains to body covering (or integument). The conditions that pertain to the specific taxa at the top of the tree are shown by the numbers.
