ancestry of the modern horse to determine the anatomical changes required in its evolution??

Question

Evidence of Genetic Equilibrium and Evolutionary Change Support For Darwin Theory

I have to trace the ancestry of the modern horse from Eohippus to Equus to determine the anatomical changes required in its evolution from a small, woodland browser to a large, plains-dwelling grazer. I have to create a table and time line for the horse. I have to have characteristics to describe the species at that time?

If anyone could help me atleast get started it would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Below is a great link that should be immensely helpful for you.

Answer 2

The question as stated is simply impossible to do. There is nothing that traces from one to the other.

Here is the answer you are most likely hinting at:
You just have to list all of these horse species, classify them with various features, and put them in order of their existence. Then you just draw up some major assumptions about how one feature transformed over billions of years.

Answer 3

See if the Natural History Museum in Chicago has a web site. They have a display on horse evolution.

Answer 4

Try Rommer's thesis he got his PhD doing that precise research.
