noz92 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 does anybody know where i can find a complete copy of the ladder of evolution? or does anybody know the complete ladder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 'Ladder' implies discrete stages, not a constant state of transition, so I'd disagree with such a thing validly existing by today's science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noz92 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 so how do i know the order things evolved in, how do we know for sure that the jellyfish was the first multicelular animal to evolve? what scale do we have for evolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 We asked the giant jellyfish. He's rather accommodating when it comes to genealogy. It started with Gregory, the amoeba, who just decided to become a jellyfish. Isn't evolution fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You're looking for charts that show the known history of adaptive radiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noz92 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 yes, do you know where i can find any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulkit Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 When you are looking for an evolutionary chart, shouldn't you be searching for a particular creature's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noz92 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 well, i guess that would work, know where i can some of those, i'd say more like homo sapien sapiens, but i'd like one that goes back to the first single celled organisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulkit Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 If I find ne charts etc. I'll forward them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidDreamer Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I believe what your looking for is called a cladogram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiral_ju00 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 well, i guess that would work, know where i can some of those, i'd say more like homo sapien sapiens, but i'd like one that goes back to the first single celled organisms. Uhm, for the moment ignoring the obvious fossil gaps, the charts you desire would be huge(size and lenghtwise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noz92 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 well, i'm just wanting one that goes pretty far back, thats really what i'm asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral_ju00 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 In that case, let me see what kind of graphs I can find(although I'm pressed for time, so nothing will happen 'till late tonight or tomorrow). In the mean time, I suggest you look up a man named Carl von Linne, and a bit of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidDreamer Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You might be able to find what you need here: http://www.palaeos.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral_ju00 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Here are some graphs for you. I merely provided you a compilation of graphs, but if you do it careful enough, you should be able to link the various graphs into one. http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~rhmiller/chordates2/HominidChart.jpg http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/evol/s3amib2.gif http://www.museum.vic.gov.au/prehistoric/images/mr007171_lg.gif http://www.dinosaur.net.cn/j042.jpg http://www.exn.ca/news/images/1998/12/02/19981202-familytreebig.gif http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~macaulay/images/skeleton07-08-02.jpg http://www.nhm.org/exhibitions/dogs/evolution/Canid%20evolution_files/Phylogenetic%20tree/Phylogenetic%20tree.jpg http://www.sidwell.edu/us/science/vlb/class/animalia/animal-tree.jpg http://www.environmentaleducationohio.org/VirtualTour/images/cladogram.jpg http://www.biologiateorica.it/organiccodes/cap7/figura704.jpg http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/Zoology/Animalclassification/Polygenetic/phylogenetictree/animaltree.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulkit Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I tried searching on the net (i was looking for the human ones), all i ever ended up with traced human evolution at best from the primate stage forwards......could not find anything beggining at a uni-cellular organism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiral_ju00 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Here's one more that may be of interest. Although I may just keep on adding more and interesting phylogenetic graphs here. http://tolweb.org/accessory/Trees_Based_on_16s_rDNA?acc_id=54 http://tolweb.org/tree/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Edward Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 does anybody know where i can find a complete copy of the ladder of evolution? or does anybody know the complete ladder? the ladder of evolution should have died when darwin wrote origins, it simply doesn't exist. The correct term is cladogram, and it is more like a bush. There are no "higher or lower" forms, just forms that are adapted to their niche, or becoming extinct.

admiral_ju00 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 the ladder of evolution should have died when darwin wrote origins, it simply doesn't exist. True, if the fossil gaps were much smaller than they are, it would have been possible to make one very large and complex tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dov Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Xenoturbella bocki is a worm. It is the most primitive existing member of the group to which humans belong, called the deuterostomes. This is what we evolved from 500 million years ago, as did all mammals, fish, starfish and worms. You might search, then, at two stages : pre- and post- Xenoturbella bocki.
