How animals' skeletons have adapted over millions of years | Biology - Evolutionwatch

How have animal skeletons adapted over thousands of years of evolution? Martin Hughes-Games looks at the skeletons of animals and humans and explains how and why they have changed.

WHAT'S A FOSSIL?

Fossils are the stone remains of animals or plants that were once alive. Fossils can be the bones of a dead dinosaur or his big footprints in the sand. Usually only the skeletons of animals are left after millions of years. But sometimes a whole animal, like a woolly mammoth, gets trapped in ice.

Selective Breeding | Biology for All | FuseSchool

Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection. It is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic characteristics. We have been doing this for thousands of years - ever since we first bred food crops from wild plants, and started domesticating animals about 10,000 years ago.
