ID The Evolution of Horse

Recently i have been doing a project for one of my classes that involves evolution. I chose horse. The horse family known as the equidae first emerged in North America 55 million years ago and has evolved over time. Nearly all of these diverse horses extinct over time. In this present day the Equidae family, which also included zebras and donkeys, only has seven different species. 35 million years ago the climate began to change the wet forests in North America to dry grasslands. This change affected horse evolution. Present day horses show many adaptations to the plains habitat. I.E.- Early horses had 3 or 4 toes, each ending in a small hoof. But those horses with bigger stronger, middle toes were better adapted to run on and walk on dry, hard ground. Natural selection led to the near disappearance of the side toes, while the middle toe and its hoof became gradually bigger.


Also, Each breed has a different trait such as body size and skeletal conformation to enhance the horses marketability, soundness, function and their performance. to identify a horses, professionals use 35 measurements to identify and determine skeletal variation in the horse. Professionals measured 1215 horses and determined 65 breeds of diverse types such as Arabic horse, shire, shetland pony, thoroughbred, american miniature, clydesdale.

Voices 10 (The Brotherhood/Sister Sol)

Wow. The only word I can say about the event i attended last night. Last night i attended an event hosted by The Brotherhood/ Sister Sol called voices. Voices is The Brotherhood/Sistersols signature annual benefit highlighting their youth and life changing programming. The event provides an extraordinary opportunity for supporters to celebrate BHSS’s commitment to helping youth develop into critical thinkers and community leaders.

Last night was a wonderful night. I've met a couple of famous people such as Michael Ealy and Salt from Salt and pepper. Its cool learning how to network and talk to so much people and donors interested in the program. Also one of my brothers from my chapter gave a speech. I was really proud of him and the way he presented himself. Also one of my chapter leaders read a poem and really did well. I really enjoyed the event and i'm looking forward to attending next year.
