15.4 What is the Chordates (Chordata)

Four embryonic features help define chordates:
1. A dorsal supporting rod: notochord
2. A dorsal hollow nerve cord (which becomes a
brain and spinal cord)
3. A pharynx with gill slits: a feeding device
4. A tail extending past the anus
Chordates (Chordata)
 Chordates
• Includes invertebrate and
vertebrate groups
 Notochord
• Stiff rod of connective
tissue that runs the
length of the body in
chordate larvae or
embryos
The Invertebrate Chordates
 There are two groups of invertebrate
chordates – both are marine organisms
 Tunicates
• Invertebrate chordates that lose their defining
chordate traits during the transition to adulthood
 Lancelets
• Invertebrate chordates that have a fishlike shape
and retain defining chordate traits into adulthood
Tunicates: 2,500 species
Lancelets: 25 species

Vertebrate Traits and Trends

Most chordates are vertebrates (having a
backbone)

Five key innovations made adaptive radiation
of vertebrates possible
5 Key Innovations in Vertebrates

Vertebral column (backbone)

Jaws
•

Hinged skeletal elements used in feeding
Amniote eggs
•
Waterproof egg found in land tetrapods (reptiles,
birds, and mammals)
5 Key Innovations in Vertebrates

Gas exchange organs
•
•

Swim bladder (organ that adjusts buoyancy in
bony fishes)
Lungs (saclike organs inside which blood
exchanges gases with the air)
Four bony limbs
•
Tetrapod (vertebrate with four limbs)

15.5 Fins to Limbs –
Fishes and Amphibians
 All vertebrates have a brain, a closed circulatory
system with one heart, a complete digestive
system, and a urinary system with two kidneys
 Kidney
• Organ of the vertebrate urinary system that filters
blood and adjusts its composition
Fishes
 Fish were the first vertebrate lineage to evolve
• Like most vertebrates, fish have a cloaca
 Fish
• Aquatic vertebrates
• The oldest and most diverse vertebrate group
 Cloaca
• A body opening that functions in reproduction and
elimination of urinary and digestive wastes
The Jawless Lampreys
 Lampreys are an evolutionarily ancient lineage
of fishes with no jaws or fins
• Backbone of cartilage
 Some lampreys are parasites of other fishes
Fish Diversity
Jawed Fishes
 Most jawed fishes have paired fins and scales
 Scales
• Hard, flattened elements that cover the skin of
some vertebrates
 There are two groups of jawed fishes
• Cartilaginous fishes
• Bony fishes
Animation: Evolution of jaws
Cartilaginous Fishes
 Cartilaginous fish
• Fish with a skeleton of cartilage
• Example: sharks
 Not all sharks have sharp teeth, some are filter
feeders or bottom feeders
Animation: Cartilaginous fishes
Bony Fishes
 Bony fishes are the most diverse vertebrates
 Bony fishes
• Jawed fishes in which the embryonic skeleton of
cartilage is mostly transformed to bone in adults
• Have protective gill covers and swim bladders
Two Subgroups of Bony Fishes
 Ray-finned fish
• Include food fishes such as salmon and tuna
• Fins are supported by thin rays derived from skin
 Lobe-finned fish
• Include coelacanths and lungfishes
• Have fins with bony supports
• Have gills and lunglike sacs

Early Tetrapods
 All land vertebrates are descendents of an
ancient lobefinned fish
 Adaptations allowed swimmers to become fourlegged walkers (tetrapods)
• Pelvic and pectoral fins became limb bones
• Three-chambered heart provides blood flow to
lungs
Transition to Tetrapods
Animation: Evolution of limb bones
Modern Amphibians
 Amphibians, the first tetrapods on land, spend
time on land but require water to breed
• Include salamanders, frogs, toads
• Many species are now threatened or endangered
 Amphibian
• Tetrapod with a three-chambered heart and
scale-less skin; aquatic larvae have gills, adults
live on land as carnivores with lungs

15.6 Adapt to dry land, and away from Water –
The Amniotes
 Amniotes were the first vertebrates that did not
require external water for reproduction
 The First: an egg with a shell, amniote eggs
 The Second traits: Their skin and kidneys
conserve water.
Amniotes
 Amniote
• Vertebrate that produces amniote eggs
• A reptile, bird, or mammal
 Amniote egg
• Egg with four membranes that allows an embryo
to develop away from water

Amniote Innovations
 Some early amniotes evolved an ability to
regulate internal body temperature
 Ectotherm (“cold-blooded”)
• Animal that gains heat from the environment
• Fish, amphibians, turtles, lizards, snakes
 Endotherm (“warm-blooded”)
• Animal that produces its own heat
• Birds and mammals
Reptile Diversity
 An early branching of the amniote lineage
separated ancestors of mammals from the
common ancestor of reptiles
 Reptile
• Amniote group that includes lizards, snakes,
turtles, crocodilians, birds, and extinct dinosaurs
Lizards and Snakes
 Lizards are the most diverse reptile subgroup
• Typically predators that lay eggs outside the body
 Snakes evolved from ancestral lizards
• Carnivores with flexible jaws for swallowing prey
• Most hold eggs in the body and give birth to live
young
Turtles and Crocodilians
 Turtles and tortoises are covered with a bony
shell that connects to the backbone
• Turtles spend most of their life in or near water
• Tortoises are land-dwelling plant eaters
 Crocodilians, the closest living relatives of birds
• Predators that lay eggs and care for the young
Reptiles

Birds
 Bird
• The only modern amniote with feathers (modified
scales adapted for flight); parenting (adults of all
bird species attend their offspring, warn and
protect them from predators)
 Adaptations for flight: the cerebellum enlarged
• Feathers and wings
• Lightweight bones
• Efficient respiratory system and four-chambered
heart

Mammals: simplified skeletons, 4000 species
 Mammals
• The only amniotes that nourish their young with milk from
mammary glands
• Eggs are fertilized within the female’s body.
• Hair except whales and dolphins
• Teeth
• Weight: 2g-blue whale (31meters 160,000kg)
 There are three lineages of mammals:
• Monotremes (egglaying mammals)
• Marsupials (pouched mammals)
• Placental mammals (a placenta provides nutrients to
developing offspring)
Three Lineages of Mammals
Mammals: simplified skeletons, 4000 species
 There are three lineages
of mammals:
• Monotremes (egglaying
mammals)
• Marsupials (pouched
mammals):240 species
• Eutherians (Placental)
mammals (a placenta
provides nutrients to
developing offspring)
Three Lineages of Mammals
 Only three species of monotremes survive, and
most marsupials live in Australia or New Zealand
 Eutherians(Placental) mammals are the most
diverse group and have displaced others in most
habitats, Higher metabolic rate, better
temperature controls, more efficient nourishment
of embryos: almost 4000 species
Mammals: The diversity of Eutherians
 The Rodents: 1,700
species
The bats: 850

The major traits of primates
 Five trends define the lineage leading to primates
• Hands adapted to grasp branches and nails rather
than claws
• Eyes on the front of the face: good depth
perception
• Upright standing and walking (bipedalism)
• very small offspring and receive extended parental
care
• Evolution of brain, behavior, and culture
15.7 From Early Primates to Humans
 The hominoid branch of the primate family tree
evolved in Africa; it includes apes and hominids
 Primate
• Have five-fingered hands capable of grasping
• Includes tarsiers, moneys, apes, and humans
 Hominid
• Humans and extinct humanlike species
Primate Classification
Prosimians: tarsiers
Anthropoinds: descended to the ground
Some Primates
Primate Classification
Hominoids to Hominids
 Hominoids appeared about 23 mya, but most
died out; hominids appeared 6 to 8 mya
 Hominoids
• Apelike species
 Australopiths
• Early hominids that walked upright
• Collection of now-extinct lineages, some of which
may be ancestral to humans
Footprints Left by Bipedal Hominids
Emergence of Early Humans
 Humans are characterized by analytical and
verbal skills, complex social behavior, and
technological innovation
 Humans
• Members of the genus Homo
Emergence of Early Humans
 The first known members of genus Homo (H.
habilis) lived in Africa between 2.4 and 1.6 mya
 Human traits associated with H. habilis
•

Homo habilis
Emergence of Early Humans
 H. erectus was the first hominid to migrate out of
Africa, 1.7 million years ago
 H. erectus developed into new species
• H. neanderthalensis (Neandertals)
• H. floresiensis
• H. sapiens (modern humans) 190,000 years ago

• An increasing complex social life
 Language and culture
Where Did Modern Humans Originate?
 Multiregional model
• H. sapiens populations in different regions
evolved from H. erectus in those regions
 Replacement model
• H. sapiens evolved in Africa, then migrated to
different regions and replaced the other hominids
that lived there

15.8 Impacts/Issues Revisited
 Scientists disagree over interpretations of new
fossils such as Homo floresiensis – is it really a
new species?
 Further study of existing fossils, searching for
new fossils, or DNA studies may help test
competing hypotheses
