Sentence examples for vestiges of evolution from inspiring English sources

The 'vestigial' features of development outlined in this paper stand in contrast to the far-more frequently cited vestiges of evolution.

We must be especially careful not to confuse ontogenetic traces of development (like male nipples), whose significance is often overlooked, with phylogenetic vestiges of evolution (like our appendix).

All of the examples cited in the previous paragraphs whether anatomical, physiological, or behavioral have one thing in common: they are vestiges of evolution, artifacts of the progressive change that occurred over generations via natural selection, and which Darwin referred to as descent with modification.

Given the myriad challenges of evolutionary education and the potential importance of vestiges in explaining evolution, reserving the term vestige solely for holdovers of evolution is recommended to avoid unnecessary confusion.

The high profile of the public debate over Vestiges, with its depiction of evolution as a progressive process, would greatly influence the perception of Darwin's theory a decade later.

This linear evolutionary pattern of gene formation is summarized in Fig. 3C where results suggest that: (1) vestiges of the PCA3 gene emerged in mammals; (2) these vestiges subsequently underwent a linear pattern of evolution: exon 4c→exon 4c/4b→exon 4c/4b/4andxons 4/3→exons 4/3/2→exons 4/3/2/1; appears PCA3 appears to mature in primates with all sharing a full complement of exons (Fig. 3C).

Although Charles Darwin had already (by 1844) formulated, but not yet published, his mechanism of evolution by natural selection, Vestiges is credited by scholars as well as Darwin himself with broadly introducing the concept of transmutation of species to popular and scientific audiences, thus setting the stage for the 1859 publication of Darwin's landmark On the Origin of Species.

In this scenario, N-terminally truncated LanAs are likely the vestiges of precursor peptide divergence during evolution and might not necessarily be real substrates.

But "Vestiges" helped lay the foundation both for popular acceptance of the concept of evolution and for its ultimate scientific articulation.

To avoid confusion, however, the term vestige should most properly be reserved for true traces or holdovers of evolution, not for remnants of embryonic processes.

His most influential work was the anonymously published Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1844), which was the most comprehensive written argument in favour of evolution before the work of Charles Darwin (1809 82).
