Primate evolution

Primates are a relatively new species and first appeared in the fossil record nearly 55 million years ago. They may have originated as far back as the cretaceous period. Their fossils were observed in North America, Asia, and Europe. Long before the first monkeys and their prosimian relatives developed, most animal species thrived and died. The first primates did not exist until about 50-55 million years ago, even though the planet is 4.54 billion years old and the first life goes back at least 3.5 billion years. Dinosaurs had been extinct for 10 to 15 million years when this happened.

Data was collected concerning Galapagos bird beak size over time. There are 13 types of Galapagos finches, and they are also known as Darwin's Finches. These finches share the same habits and characteristics except for one; they all have different beaks. The differences in their beaks might be the most important aspect of their survival because beak size determines the type of seed able to be eaten. Only the birds with the largest of beaks are able to eat the toughest, biggest, and spine covered seeds. Based on the data given, choose the BEST conclusion. A) This data shows that over time the type of food available remained constant. Eliminate B) This data shows that the environment did not change over the course of time. C) This data shows a fluctuation in bird species over time most likely due to food availability. D) This data shows a fluctuation in bird species over time most likely due to the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Not Graded
Which choice best describes a reasonable mechanism for animal structures becoming better suited over evolutionary time to specific functions? Animals that eat the most food become the most abundant. Animals that restrict their food intake will become less abundant. Animals with mutations that give rise to effective structures will become more abundant. Animals with parents that continually improve their offspring's structures will become more abundant. Animals with inventions that curtail reproduction will become more abundant.
What is wrong with this statement: Birds evolved lighter bones to allowed them to fly and take advantage of open niches. All of the choices are true; none are false. It implies that the variation in the anatomy of birds did not come first, but rather the need did. It implies that there is an intent to evolution. It implies that adaptations evolve out of a need.
