Fossil Evidence Of Giraffe. using the morphological characters and calculated ratios, we propose stages in cervical lengthening, which are. over two decades, meng and colleagues found more than 77 fossils of the same species, including another 2 skulls and some teeth. several evolutionary theories have been proposed to explain the adaptation of the long giraffe neck; Diverse genome study upends understanding of how language evolved (and like the vast majority of mammals, from tiny mice to towering giraffes, it had seven neck vertebrae.) samotherium, which lived in the open woodlands of eurasia about 7 million years ago, had a neck about 1 meter long—about half the length of that of today’s giraffes. here we report on an unusual fossil giraffoid, discokeryx xiezhi, from the early miocene, which has an unusual disk. fossils of a strange early giraffoid have revealed the key driving forces in giraffe evolution, according to a study led by researchers from the institute of vertebrate paleontology and. However, few studies examine the fossil cervical vertebrae. for years, there has been scant fossil evidence showing how the giraffe evolved to have such an admirably. We incorporate extinct giraffids, and the okapi and giraffe cervical vertebral specimens in a comprehensive analysis of the anatomy and elongation of the neck.
