The forces that drove the Grand Coupure and the Mongolian Remodeling would also have shaped critical events in the evolution of primates, but details remain to be uncovered.
The defining events in the evolution of the heap are limited in number and localised in time and space.
A basal ancestral species, Australopithecus afarensis, exhibits a well-preserved postcranium that permits reconstruction of important events in the evolution of our locomotor skeleton.
One of the earliest events in the evolution of mitochondria was the acquisition of a mechanism that facilitated the import of proteins from cytosol.
During the Silurian, several small extinction and radiation events in the evolution of nektonic (free-swimming) and pelagic (free-floating) organisms appear to be linked to fluctuations in sea level.
After sequencing events in their own lives and assigning each a numerical time, students use the same process to sequence actual events in the evolution of life on Earth.
He says the results will be useful for timing some events in the evolution of mammals, however.
Events in the evolution of fungi created paths for the evolution of seed plants, and the plants in turn provided opportunities for fungi to develop new capacities.
Now it turns out that two organisms thought to record early events in the evolution of the cell may not be good models after all.
Strikingly, the burst of embryological and anatomical innovation at the origin of vertebrates and gnathostomes seems to correspond to radical events in the evolution of their genomes.
Numerous studies suggest the impairment of endothelial dysfunction and the subsequent development of arterial stiffness as premature events in the evolution of atherosclerosis and that diabetes impair endothelium-dependent vasodilatation before the formation of atheroma [48].
