This is probably looking at the adaptation from water to land.

* Land has different types of food

* Migration out of water to land means less competition for food and less predators

* Air is far less dense than water and easier to extract O2

What were the earliest vertebrae water dwelling fossils?

The earliest vertebrate fossils found in aquatic environments date back to the Cambrian period, approximately 500 million years ago. Notable examples include the jawless fish known as Agnatha, with one of the oldest genera being Myllokunmingia. These early vertebrates exhibited primitive features and laid the groundwork for the evolution of more complex fish and terrestrial vertebrates. Fossils from this era provide crucial insights into the transition from invertebrates to early vertebrates in the evolutionary timeline.

What type of evolution is human evolution?

Human evolution is no different from the evolution of any other species of plant or animal. Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years our ancestors survived by being the better competitor for resources in their environment in their gene pool. The genes that enabled this better survivability were passed on, until the majority of the population were adapted to their environment etc:. homo habilis or homo sapiens or primates


What is the role of the natural selection in evolution and what role does it play in environmental science?

Natural selection is the changing of organisms gradually over time. Natural selection and evolution are parts of environmental science due to them being the studies of organisms.

Their bodies have structure due to the bones in their body as opposed to relying on an exoskeleton (external skeleton) like insects or being blob-like (think octopus, slugs, worms).

Do the vertebrates have brains?

That would depend on the animal. Practially all vertebrates have brains, with mammals' and perhaps birds' being the most complex of all. For invertebrates, it depends on the species. Arthropods and cephalopods tend to have brains. Sponges have no neurons whatsoever.
