Island Subspecies Santa Cruz santacruzae Northern Chanel Islands Santa Rosa U. I. santarosae San Miguel U.

Urocyon cinerecargenteus, which is found on the mainland. Both species have similar coloration and a diploid chromosome number of 66. One structural difference between the two species is the reduced size of the island fox, a feature known as dwarfism. The various island subspecies also differ from each other in size, number of tail vertebrae, and other characteristics The…arrow_forward

Does the phylogeny shown above support the claim humans did not hybridize with Neanderthals in the past? How can you tell? b) Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why? c) Did female H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal males to produce fertile offspring that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this? d) Did male H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal females that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this?
