What do you mean? Well, lets see. The hand has descended from all kinds of animals. Really a mix of many. Did you know that there is a measurement called hands? It measures horses. A hand is roughly 10 to 12 inches. So my horse is around 17. 0 hands. Can you measure that? He's huge!

What are the key differences between paralogs and orthologs in terms of their evolutionary relationships and functional roles?

Paralogs are genes within the same species that have evolved from a common ancestor through gene duplication, leading to similar functions but potentially different roles. Orthologs, on the other hand, are genes in different species that have evolved from a common ancestor through speciation, maintaining similar functions and roles.

Why has hemispheric specialization evolved?

Hemispheric specialization is thought to have evolved to enhance cognitive efficiency and optimize processing of different types of information. The specialization allows for tasks to be divided between the two hemispheres, enabling faster and more effective processing. Additionally, it may have evolved as a way to increase cognitive capacity and adaptability in response to environmental demands.


What is the difference between paralogs and orthologs in terms of their evolutionary relationship and functional similarities?

Paralogs are genes within the same species that have evolved from a common ancestral gene through gene duplication. They may have similar functions but can also have diverged functions due to evolutionary changes. Orthologs, on the other hand, are genes in different species that have evolved from a common ancestral gene through speciation. They are more likely to have similar functions due to their shared evolutionary history.

The simple answer is (for the same reason the spear evolved to the atlatl to the bow and arrow, as the Chinese bamboo hand cannon evolved to the smooth bore musket to the rifle), more efficient means of hunting game.

When did tennis get invented?

Tennis originated from a 12th century French game called paume (meaning palm); it was a court game where the ball was struck with the hand. Paume evolved into jeu de paume and rackets were used. The game spread and evolved in Europe. In 1873, Major Walter Wingfield invented a game called Sphairistikè (Greek for "playing ball) from which modern outdoor tennis evolved.

What primate evolved first lemur or gibbon?

Lemurs evolved before gibbons. Lemurs are part of the strepsirrhine group of primates, which diverged from other primates around 60-70 million years ago. Gibbons, on the other hand, are part of the haplorhine group and evolved later, around 15-20 million years ago. Therefore, lemurs are considered to be the more ancient lineage compared to gibbons.
