• Galapagos Islands

• Fiji Islands

When an animal changes its biology to better fit its environment.'

• Adaptation

• Habitation

• Environmentation

The process by which the useful genes of animals are preserved by reproducing and passing the genes to their offspring to strengthen the species for its environment.

• Common Breeding

• Natural selection

• Essential reproduction

Gigantopithecus were very large primates that lived 500,000 years ago. Since none of these mammals are still today, they are said to be....

• Extinct

• Threatened

• Endangered

• Declining

A change in the DNA from constant breeding to better suit its environment.

• Configuration

• Mutation

• Transformation

• Alteration

Which animal is it said that humans evolved from?

• evolution
• generation
