(2pts) 3- Define convergent evolution- Research the intemet for 2 examples of convergent evolution and explain them- (3pts) 4- Describe the difference between anagenesis and cladogenesis- Research the intemet for 2 examples of cladogenesis- (4pts) 5- Define gradualism- Next how do we explain gaps in the fossil record? Explain (2pts) 6- Explain kin selection and inclusive frtness- How do they relate to Darwinian principles? (3pts) Chapter 6: Human Variation: Evolution, Adaptation, and Adaptability (36pts) 1- Read the section about deconstructing racial features- What are the 4 features? And explain why each of these factors isn’t a good way to separate and create “racial” groups- (8pts) a- b- c- d- 2- There are a few different ways where matemal-fetal incompatibility can occur.
