decreased ability to survive changing conditions
What evidence supports the idea that Neanderthals weren't the ancestors of Cro-Magnon people?
DNA evidence shows that the Cro-Magnon were not descended from Neanderthals.
What is the process by which modern organisms have decended from ancient organisms called?
The process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms is called evolution.
What exactly is evolution?
In biology, evolution is change in the genetic material of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. Though the changes produced in any one generation are small, differences accumulate with each generation and can, over time, cause substantial changes in the organisms. This process can culminate in the emergence of new species. Indeed, the similarities between organisms suggest that all known species are descended from a common ancestor (or ancestral gene pool) through this process of gradual divergence.Source: WikipediaContributor: Andy G (ndg619@gmail.com)
Do scientist know the exact rate of evolution?
Yes and no.Mutation rates are different in different organisms, and are also dependent on how long a generation is and whether the organism reproduces asexually or sexually.There's no exact rate, but at least in humans, thanks to genetic markers, we can estimate that humans all descended from the San, in Africa about 150,000 years ago.
Who is a person from whom one is descended?
You are descended from ancestors.
What best describes the theroy of evolution?
It describes via what mechanism modern life forms derived from their common ancestors.
What is a group of people descended from common ancestors?
septs
What is the principle that states that all species have descended from a common ancestor?
yes, theses ancestors are called common decent
Who is Charles dawin?
an English naturalist who realised that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection.
What does the principle of common descent imply about humans?
Apes and humans descended from the same common ancestor.
Where was Rufino Tamayo born?
Tamayo was born in Oaxaca. He descended from Zapotec ancestors.
What scientist argued that modern species were descended from ancestors that had evolved?
Charles Darwin
How do you find the Japanese ancestors that are related to the American Indians?
First you need to demonstrate that American Natives are descended from Japanese. While American Natives probably came originally from Asia, there is no suggestion that they came specifically from Japan.
Are you desended from apes?
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution suggest that, yes, we are indeed descended from common ancestors of the apes. Later archaeological and DNA findings support his theory of evolution. However Christians or other religious people believe otherwise.
Where are Filipinos from originally?
It is believed Filipinos descended from Malaysians.
Who said that people came from monkeys?
According to the theory of evolution, originally proposed by Charles Darwin in his book "The Origin Of Species" human beings and monkeys are both descended from earlier primate species. Monkeys, according to this theory, would be more accurately described as our cousins, than as our ancestors. So actually, nobody has said that people come from monkeys. That would be a misrepresentation of evolutionary theory.
