Chapter 26.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Leopards are more closely related to badgers or wolves or both.
Introduction:
The phylogenetic tree is the diagram that shows the evolutionary descent of the organisms and species that share common ancestors. The phylogenetic tree shows the evolutionary relationship between two species based on their similarities and differences.

The unidentified dinosaur egg clutches. You know that oviraptorosaurian egg clutches can be identified based on the following characteristics (C1-C5):
C1. Elongate egg shape
C2. Asymmetrical egg shape (more pointed at one end)
C3. Eggs are arranged in three or four circular rings
C4. Eggs are paired (arranged in clusters of two)
C5. May be associated with oviraptorosaurian bones
Egg clutches that match 3 or more of characteristics C1-C5 belong to oviraptorosaurians. Among Figures A-B, which of the egg clutches belong to oviraptorosaurians? Please explain in the following format (if you cannot identify a characteristic in a figure you need to explain why):

Does the phylogeny shown above support the claim humans did not hybridize with Neanderthals in the past? How can you tell? b) Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why? c) Did female H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal males to produce fertile offspring that then back-crossed with modern humans?
