Scientists observed some fossils of the early ancestors of camels. Using the fossils they obtained, they prepared a phylogeny chart for camels. Based on this chart, what can you conclude about the relationship between modern camels (Camelus) and Aepycamelus?
Based on the phylogeny chart prepared by scientists, we can conclude that Aepycamelus is an ancestor of modern camels (Camelus). Aepycamelus is an extinct genus of camelids that lived in North America during the Miocene epoch. The chart shows that Aepycamelus branched out to a common ancestor, which then evolved into the modern camels (Camelus). Therefore, modern camels are the descendants of the early ancestors which include Aepycamelus.
