Question
Chapter 27.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Why it is incorrect to say that humans evolved from chimps.
Concept introduction:
The evolution is a process by which organisms accumulate changes over time and then diverge from their ancestors.
The evolutionary history of an animal can be traced by fossil records, molecular studies and others.

- What makes Archeopteryx an important fossil evolutionarily? This species has a mix of characters that suggest it was a "transitional" species between two large groups, dinosaurs and birds. This species is the oldest known, universally agreed upon, fossil of life, and therefore tells up what the common ancestor to all living things might have been like. This species is thought to be the last common ancestor between chimps and humans, and therefore is the root of our own specific group (homonins). This species has a mix of characters that suggests is was a "transitional" species between two large groups, fish and amphibians.arrow_forwardA) Humans evolved from fish but fish have flimsy fins. b) Humans and chimps share 98.77 percent of their DNA but we are pretty darn different. c) If humans came from apes, why are there still apes?arrow_forwardHow giraffe's neck gets longer and longer using the theories of Darwin and Lamarck?arrow_forward
- Which question below directly corresponds to whether Lamarck or Darwin are correct about their theories of the mechanisms of evolution? A.) Why don’t the shorter neck giraffes feed on grasses and lower vegetation? B.) How would the shorter necked giraffes in Lamarck’s theory survive to reproduce and pass on the “need” for longer necks if they were unable to reach food? C.) Why won’t the taller necked giraffes in Darwin’s theory provide assistance to the shorter giraffes since they are the same species? D.) Will the smaller giraffes be more adapted to hide from predators since they wouldn’t be visible from greater distances?arrow_forwardThe above image shows four different finches that Charles Darwin found while on the Galapagos Islands. This information led Darwin to develop the idea that organisms change, or evolve, over time. Which of these would best describe what Darwin saw as the MAJOR difference(s) between these finches? A) They all ate different food B) They all lived in different areas C) Both where they lived and what they ate were different D) Only their beak size was different and they lived together and ate the same food.

DNA analysis shows that their DNA is almost identical with only minor changes. Scientists have been studying them since Darwin in 1835 and have watched them evolve. Observation of all 15 species shows that they look incredibly similar, with minor changes to beak size and shape. These 15 species are found nowhere else in the world, and the islands are located close enough to the mainland for birds to migrate.arrow_forward
- Humans in the 21st century use their thumbs extensively to operate touchscreens on cellphones. Imagine a scenario, where the human population evolves to have more dexterous thumbs over the next 300 years. Which of the following is a Lamarckian explanation for this evolutionary change (and, therefore, would an incorrect evolutionary mechanism?) humans that develop more dexterity in their thumb over their lifetime due to frequent use of cellphones pass that ability to their children humans that were born with a mutation for more dexterous thumbs have more children thumb dexterity is a dominant traitarrow_forwardWhat did Darwin’s travels reveal to him about the number and variety of living species?
