What is the sister group to Innovatiocaris maotianshanensis? The phylogeny shows that some named groups are not monophyletic. For each of the following groups, state whether it is monophyletic:Hurdia - YES OR NOHurdidae- YES OR NOLyrarapax- YES OR NOAmplectobelua- YES OR NOAmplectobeluidae- YES OR NOAnomalocaris- YES OR NO Radiodonts are extinct predatory arthropods that terrorized the oceans in the early Paleozoic. Lastyear, Han Zeng, Fangchen Zhao, and Maoyan Zhu described Innovatiocaris maotianshanensis, anew species of radiodont based on early Cambrian fossils from Chengjiang, China (Journal of theGeological Society 180:164). Their reconstruction of the animal is shown below.They used data from a large number of fossils to infer a phylogeny, using the maximum parsimonyapproach. The numbers at each node represent three different measures of statistical support, andthe starburst marks the node that is the common ancestor of all radiodonts. Use this phylogeny toanswer the following questions. 60634540151712Schinderhannes bartelsiAegirocassis benmoulaiCordaticaris striatusCambroraster falcatuscf.

How can we explain that fossils of Mesosaurus an extinct reptile that could not swim across open water, are found in the southern parts of both Africa and South America?
Which of the following is responsible for the early predominant image of Neanderthals as brutish cavemen? a). They had small brain cases with stocky bodies and were always recovered from cave sites b). The fossil evidence reveals that they had little cognitive capacity and had a hunched over posture c). An early fossil find of an Individual suffering from arthritis was assembled and taken as the type specimen foer all Neanderthals, mistakenly giving the idea that Neanderthals were an ape-like, hunched-over species.d). None of the above are true
Compare and contrast the specimens of H. habilis with H. rudolfensis. Some paleoanthropologists believe these specimens represent one species, but differ because one is female and one is male. Others believe them to be different species. What do you think? Support your answer using anatomical evidence. Name the key anatomical features and behaviors that set the earliest member of our genus, H. habilis, apart from the australopithecines and that are defining characteristics of the genus Homo.
The figure shows a phylogenetic tree of various members of the order Proboscidea, which includes modern elephants. Which of the following claims is best supported by the information in the figure ? a.The mastodon and the Stegodon diverged from their common ancestor 22 million years ago. b.The common ancestor of the African elephant and the mastodon is the Palaeomastodon. c.The mammoth diverged from its most recent common ancestor with African elephants before the mastodon diverged from its most recent common ancestor with Stegodons. d.The Asian and African elephants are the most closely related species shown on the tree.
Amphioxus long has been of interest to zoologists searching for a vertebrate ancestor. Explain why amphioxus captured such interest and how it is different from the hypothesized most recent common ancestor of all vertebrates.
Which of the following taxa of fish shared most direct common ancestry with the group of animals that evolved into the terrestrial tetrapods? -Subclass Elasmobranchii -Class Neopterygii -Subclass Sarcopterygii -Class Actinopterygii -Class Chondrichthyes
Shade the geological time range for each fossilized organism, marking the time period where each fossil belongs to in a darker color (see example for fossil #2: Batostomella gracilis ): Fossil #7: Mucrospirifer thedfordensis Fossil #16: Cardioceras species Fossil #17: Dinosaur bone Fossil #21: Otodus species Fossil #23: Dentalium sexangulare Fossil #24: Physa humerosa
Paleoanthropologists generally agree that Homo erectus belongs in our genus and represents a significant shift towards adaptations important to our own species. However, there is much variation among specimens that are grouped into H. erectus. Your instructor will let you know which of these fossil representatives to use for the exercise today.Based on your measurements and comparisons in the table above, what are major differences among Au. africanus, H. habilis, and H. erectus? Do you think H. habilis is more like Australopithecus or Homo? How do these three species reflect the major environmental pressures of the time periods in which they lived, respectively? List three features that are changing in the genus Homo due to these selective pressures. List three features found in H. erectus that are derived, compared to Au. africanus.
