Paleontology, Homology, and Evolution
• Paleontologists use homology to understand the evolution of organisms!

Paleontology, Homology, and Evolution
• Paleontologists use homology to understand the evolution of organisms!
DERIVED CHARACTERISTICS

Derived Characteristics
• A trait that has been passed down from the ancestral organism
![Page 5: Paleontology, Homology, and Evolution](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050723/56816365550346895dd43ae4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Derived Characteristics
• A trait that has been passed down from the ancestral organism
– Multicellular– Vertebrates– Mammals

Derived Characteristics
• Trace back to understand evolution– Good example are horses and their ancestors• Using a number of morphological traits, they can trace
back the ancestry of modern horses.

Paleontology
• It is your job now to become the paleontologists and find what is in the soil.

Paleontology
• Use the pictures of modern organisms to try and figure out what where the fossils come from!

What could you tell about the behavior or environment?
![Page 17: Paleontology, Homology, and Evolution](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050723/56816365550346895dd43ae4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What could you tell about the behavior or environment?
• Fossils are found right here in LA at the La Brea tar pits.
• Take a look at the fossils from the tar pits-what can we tell about these organisms?
• How did they get trapped in the tar pit?
