~ Response 2 Evolution~

The quote i found most interesting while surfing through posts just happened to be Mercedes quote talking and explaining "Evolution" by using examples of fossils through horses and there ancestor(s); which could be found here, the reason why i found this the most supportive and interesting is because Evolution seems as a topic that can go on for centuries. I have a whole lot of information about evolution, and i would like to let it out: So lets get started!!



"Evolution is an interesting subject, one that affects us all. Take a look at fossils you can find in almost every museum, and compare them to the knowledge we have of their current descendants. Note the similarities and the differences in the following two skeletons, The Prehistoric horse and the modern one":
"To successfully navigate their terrain, prehistoric horses were about 3 feet tall, lacked
fetlocks,which are ankle joints, and had cloven hooves. Modern day horses average at twice that size, have their "ankle" joint further down, and their hooves have become solid. Why"?


I find Mercedes example to be quite unique and I also agree with her on some parts she used, which were really good examples. However, im going to have to disagree with some of her evidence and conclusions. First off i would like to ask if it's alright with her, where did she obtain this information, is it most likely Valid or in validity, is it in a process were it could be criteria/ tested ? On the looks of her images, i would say the prehistorical horse was much taller and had longer sized legs. So how is it possible to say that they were twice as large. This post is just to sustain Mercedes point in Evolution.
Well heres another post of mine that is based upon regime that supports my analysis with even more proof of just two horses and hoof similarities. My research mostly not only supports the idea that about 55 million years ago Evolution took place with a certain type of horse's and continued to adapt and change over time until we received our modern day horse. No, i also helped facilitate her post, by supporting her reasoning. There is atleast nine different types of horses that are all linked together through common ancestors. This may even be a recent acquisition to the museum .Each one of these horses had there own name or description of type that was Marginal. They all had different features, body structures that fitted them for their own environment. The nine horses types of horses that lived through out our time are Hyracotherium, Mesohippus, Miohippus, Parahippus, Merychippu once a diverse family of horses with great emphasis. Maybe i do not have the right discretion to say what i am saying, but's its what i base my hypothesis on.
