Animal Hands Data
Analysis
- What features of the “animal hands” were helpful in determining which X-ray belonged to each species?
- Did you find evidence for homologous structure (same structure serving different functions) between the bones of the species we studied? Explain.
- How does this information relate to the topic of evolution and common ancestry? Did you see evidence to support or discredit these ideas?
