Question

What do the consequences of the loss of cutaneous senses suggest about how evolutionary pressures may have influenced the development of the cutaneous senses?

Answer 1

As different species evolved, it can be seen that those pressures influenced how their cutaneous senses developed through the changes and sensory adaptation. In different climates and situations, one would need to adapt in order to survive. Ex. Someone who works in construction or gardening would develop callouses from the pressure of the tools they use.
