Question
Chapter 13, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The hypothesis made by Alfred Russel Wallace about the unique birds and mammals on either side of an imaginary line in the Malay Archipelago and to discuss the demonstration of the predictive power of evolution by the eventual explanation for Wallace line.
Concept Introduction:
The biogeography helps in understanding the rate of growth of species depending on the geographical locations of the animals. Also, it determines the spreading of species in the past and present time because the species and their survival are connected to the geographical locations.

Could both of these evolutionary process happen together? Explain.arrow_forwardWhile the French biologist LaMarck was correct in proposing that evolution does occur, he believed that the long necks of giraffes evolved as generations of giraffes reached for ever higher leaves on the trees. Using these observations, LaMarck proposed the theory that evolution occurs due to the inheritance of characteristics acquired during an organism’s lifetime.
