The anklebones of hippos are adapted for running on land, and their shape is very similar to the fossilized anklebones found in whale ancestors like Ambulocetus and Rodhocetus. This evolutionary evidence suggests:
the fossils of ancient hippos should be found in the same stratigraphic layer as fossils of Ambulocetus and Rodhocetus
whales and hippos evolved from a common tetrapod ancestor with similar ankle bones
whales and hippos underwent convergent evolution
whales evolved from fish, and eventually gave rise to terrestrial mammals, including hippos

All of the features below are features that characterize humans,
though very few of them are unique to humans. Rather, most of them
are present in our species because of our evolutionary history
(they were present in an ancestral species at some point in time,
and eventually passed on to us). For example, the bilateral
symmetry that characterizes the human body plan is a feature that
evolved in a primitive animal species that lived hundreds of
millions of years ago;...

Lab 11: The Witte il An Introduction to Paleontology 1. Paleontology at the Witte: Paleontology is the study of fossils. Traditionally, multiple subdisciplines can be defined. For example, Paleobotany is the study of fossil plants, Paleodimatology is the study of ancient climates, and Palynology is the study of fossil pollen and spores. Paleontology differs from Archaeologyas the former includes the study of modern humans....
