The human body contains structures that are needed for survival, or in the case of vestigial structures, were needed for surviva

l. wisdom teeth, seen here, are vestigial third molars. human ancestors had larger jaws with more teeth. over thousands of years, man no longer needed the third molar, and they became the source of dental problems rather than an aid in survival. how does this vestigial structure support the theory of natural selection?

What is well-tested explanation that brings together many observations in science would include such things as evolution, plate
lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is a theory.  

A theory is a rational and contemplative kind of generalizing or abstract thinking or the outcomes of such thinking. On the basis of the context, the outcomes might involve generalized illustrations of how nature functions.  

A theory can be a source of knowledge that may or may not is related to the specific explanatory models. To theorize is to create the body of knowledge.

Alecsey [184]
Protocells are self-organized, spherical collection of lipids. This is the proposed as the stepping stone to the origin life. One of the important qualities of protocells is its self-replicating, using the amphiphilic molecules. This requires repeatable set of chemical events.

How did the work of Mary Leakey contribute to our knowledge of early hominids and an understanding of human evolution?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

M.Leakey was a paleoanthropologist of  no formal  university education and British origin. Her major discoveries  were;

1. the proconsul skull

2. Zinjanthropus skull at Olduvai Gorge In Tanzania

3, system of classification of discovered stones.

4.Laetoli footprints at Laetoli sites.

However, her most outstanding  discoveries were proconsul skull (  projecting  face with no browridges, and presence of ape-like teeth shapes) and the Laetoli prints. She believed the skull belonged to ancestral Homo habilis, which  could be traced to origin of mankind.

The discovery of Laetoli  prints showed evidences of bipedalism and the origin  of Australopithecus. These prints and  the  skeletons she unearthed  proved that the ancestral of human race actually walked upright, nearly four feet tall in height.Hence she concluded that these prints actually belong to  the Australopithecus. This  brought a paradigm shift in modern understanding of human evolution of prehistoric times and the origin of  mankind,

Her discoveries generally  throw light on the <u>evolution of mankind </u>and  new understanding of <u>genesis of human race</u>
