Propliopithecids vs. Parapithecids. Adapids and Omomyids. Dryopithecus and Oreopithecus. With the exception of Gigantopithecus, many students struggle to differentiate between the various fossil primates. So, let's write about them, have a little fun, and help embed them in our brains. Create an original comic or storyboard that illustrates one of the fossil primates. Unlike the Primate Profiles, this is NOT meant to be a research project! This is meant to be a study tool for you. You should build comics primarily, if not exclusively.

Along comes Dr Phil Bell and deep in the mines of Lightning Ridge, finds an amazingly preserved pterosaur that preserves feathers. He hypothesises that this means that feathers must have evolved before the origin of dinosaurs and therefore must have been primitive. Test this hypothesis using phylogenetic framework and provide a brief explanation of your process and whether or not you support Dr Bell's hypothesis.
nvestigate the changes in taxonomy since Linnaeus. Note major changes, such as the recognition that sponges are not plants (Linnaeus thought they were), the changing classification of barnacles (Linnaeus thought they were bivalves), and the breakdown of Linnaeus’s phylum, Vermes (worms). 2) Draw a cladogram of the primates, referring to Chapter 22. Include Homo sapiens and the other extinct species of the genus Homo to the best of our current knowledge. Compare to the cladograms in several of the most recent references listed in Chapter 22.
