Natural Selection
It was first proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace
Competing forces on pelvis
In anatomical position, the position of the forearm is called_________.
Normal variation between males and females of the same species, such as size difference is called________.
Opposite of superior
Reptiles have _______ dentition, indicating they have the same type of teeth throughout their moth.
____________ is the process by which a group of organisms rapidly diversifies and spread into new ecological niches.
The earlier dental primates, such as Plesiadapis, had an additional tooth cusp call a/an)))))m which was an adaption to frugivory.
Three traits unique to primates (e.g., derived traits of primates NOT shared w/ the rest of Mammalia).
