What did the similarities between fossil animals and modern animals like the glyptodont and armadillo suggest to Darwin?
it was awesome
What did the similarities between fossil animals and modern animals suggest to Darwin?
In brief, those similarities Darwin observed suggested that those animals that he saw in fossil form passed along useful traits to modern animals. These traits had been selected by nature (natural selection) because of their value to newer generations.
Which modern day animal has an ancestor from the Jurassic period?
All modern day organisms have an ancestor in the Jurassic.Identifying which fossil animals are the direct ancestors of any modern day animal is impossible since fossils don't preserve DNA.However comparing the bones of fossil animals and those of modern day animals, family trees can be hypothesised.With modern day animals their DNA can be compared to produce much more accurate results.
What are the sources of studying the evolution of man?
The primate fossil record and genetic relatedness between human and modern non-human primates.
Comparing fossil bones with modern animals bones Will it help you see the modern animals evolutionary history?
Fossils found, such as Wolly Mammoths,differ in many ways. Wolly mammoths are the ancestors to the elephants we have living today. The difference? Wolly mammoths are much longer and differ in size. For example, if you had a mammoth and an elephant stand on their hind legs, the mammoth would be taller.
Are there any extinct types of platypus?
Yes. Fossil evidence has shown that there was once a giant species of platypus which had teeth, unlike modern platypuses which only have grinding plates. This giant species was very similar to the modern platypus in every other way.
What is ambulocetus an ancestor to?
Animals of the genus Ambulocetus are intermediaries between basal mammals and modern whales, and possibly ancestral to modern whales.
What source of energy modern industrialized nations depend heavily on?
fossil fuels
What modern day weapons are similar to the zeppelin?
There are no modern weapons similar to the Zeppelin.
Archaeopteryx is believed to be a link between which modern animal group?
Archaeopteryx is not believed to be an ancestor to any modern animals. However, it was probably closely related to the evolutionary link between birds and dinosaurs.
Why does modern technology release more co2?
Modern technology needs more energy to work, which means more fossil fuels need to be burned. Fossil fuels release CO2. With more fossil fuels being burned because of a higher energy demand from modern technology, more CO2 is released.
How fossil provide evidence that evolution has taken place?
Fossils show evidence of evolution by showing a picture to the past and through some methods how DNA of one animal may be similar to that of a modern animal.
