Deliverridae Family Essay

458 Words2 Pages

The Viverridae family consist of 34 species in 20 different genera. The main animals that make up these families are the Civets, the Linsangs, and the Genets. The information below will talk about the fossil records, comparing and contrasting between the species traits, comparing and contrasting the job and environment of the species, evaluating the adaptive value of the traits in each species, give the approximation of the time of speciation and theorized cause of speciation, and find a common ancestor between the three chosen species. For this information I have chosen to do the Asian Palm Civet (Genetta Genetta), Common Genet (Paradoxurus Hermaphroditus), and the African Linsang (Poiana Richardsonii). The image on the right is a picture of an Asian Palm Civet skull and jaw line being and example of fossil records. There isn 't much information on fossil …show more content…

All of this depends on how much food is available to the species and how much they consume. The role in the economy for the Asian Palm civet is they act like bees by eating tree seeds and when they desecrate miles away they are repopulating the forest. Very little is known about the Viverridae family overall but it is believed that the Viverridae family comes from the Carnivora ancestors that no longer exist and the date first recorded about the family is in 1821 by John Edward Gray. The Civets or the overall family of Viverridae is most closely related to mongooses and meerkats but further researching the mongoose and the meerkats they have been placed into their own family in a Viverridae family or a

    Between 1912 and 1913, in the small English village of Piltdown, Charles Dawson--an amateur archaeologist who specialized in fish fossil--, Arthur Smith Woodward--leading Geologist and keeper of the department of Geology in England 's Natural History Museum--, and Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin--a French Paleontologist and Jesuit priest-- discovered what was believed by many to be the 'missing link ' between apes and mankind. There they found fragments of a skull--that was distinctly human--, a jawbone--ape-like in structure with two flat molar teeth intact that were similar to that of modern humans--and a canine tooth. In December of 1912, Woodward announced the discoveries at a meeting of the Geological Society; claiming the fossil at an estimate of 500,000 mya. This spurred excitement and controversy for the scientific community. Before these discoveries, England had to yet have

  • Primate Facial Species

    481 Words  | 2 Pages

    Near the junction between a single ancestral species branching off into two distinctive species, there will undoubtedly be large similarities between the two species. These similarities are expected to diminish over many generations as the two species become reproductively incompatible. However, If we consider the "grey area" that is the time between two strains of a species becoming reproductively distinct, we can why it is so advantageous for distinguishable facial features to arise; distinct facial features serve as a form of genetic authentication that allows identification of individuals with certain genes. These are the exact genotypic traits that must be propagated in a subset of the ancestral species for a budding new species to adapt to a new environment and/or escape the competition for resources from the original ancestral species by developing a niche. Hence, two characterizing features of primates with distinguishable facial features are genetic diversity and capacity for adaptive radiation.

    Introduction The theory of evolution has been discussed, evaluated, and researched many times since the theory was first brought to light. Darwin’s theory of evolution is said to be divided into two parts, common decent and natural selection (Bouzat, 2014). Many research papers agreeing with Darwin’s theory comment on the diversity of a species and how they have descended from one common ancestor. Natural selection is a process in which species that are better adapted to the environment tend to survive and reproduce (Dictonary.com).
