Disclaimer:
The animated image shown below is intended to illustrate the
similarities in forelimb structure of several different mammal
species. It is not meant to be interpreted as an evolutionary
sequence, since each of the forelimbs represents a modern species.
Modern species share common ancestors; they do not evolve into one
another. Also be aware that the images are not to scale.
The image is rather large in size (252 kbytes), so you may have to
wait a few seconds while it loads. If you have a slow connection to
the Internet, it may take even longer. Animated images like the one
above may be viewed with Netscape Navigator 3.0 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer 3.0.
