    Evolution of man Man obviously shares a common ancestry with the modern apes‚ such as the gorilla and chimpanzee. We know this from the many characteristics that are shared between apes and man. Apart from obvious anatomical and behavioral similarities‚ the two groups also have many blood proteins and other biochemical characteristics in common. A comparison of the skulls of a gorilla and a modern man illustrate the main trends that have taken place in human evolution from an ape-like ancestry

    Furthermore‚ seeing the word evolution most of us think it is the development of a new species‚ however‚ that is not the only form of evolution. Evolution "is an ongoing biological process with more than one outcome (Jurmain et al. 5)."

In modern terms‚ we can define evolution as a change over time in the genetic composition of a population. Evolution also refers to the gradual appearance of all biological diversity. Evolution is such a fundamental concept that its study is relevant to biology at every level‚ from molecules to ecosystems. Evolutionary perspectives continue to transform medicine

    Patterns of Evolution Humans alter our environment to suit our needs rather than adapt to our environment based on environmental stressors. Due to this fact‚ we are unlikely to be affected by the pressures of natural selection. We will not likely be affected by further evolution. In convergent evolution‚ unrelated species living in the similar environments become more and more alike in appearance as they adapt to the same kind of environment. Dolphins and sharks are examples of convergent

These fish closely relate to ecology and evolution. The researchers original findings are different than that of Robinson’s field study. His hypothesis states that the threespine sticklebacks varied phenotypes are the handiwork of natural selection supporting the discrepancy in the population. Diet and the
