Which pattern emerged in horse evolution assign this studied early her horse fossils and modern horse bones? That the earliest horses had four foot bones, intermediate forms had three foot bones and modern horses have a large single football

1 answer

This pattern is known as the gradual reduction of toes in horse evolution. The earliest horse fossils, such as those of Eohippus, had four toes on their front feet and three toes on their hind feet. As horse evolution progressed, intermediate forms like Mesohippus had three toes on all four feet. Finally, modern horses have a single large toe, known as the hoof, on each foot.
