 5Phylum Chordata Characteristics 1) a 
notochord 2) a dorsal, hollow nerve cord 3) 
pharyngeal gill slits 4) a muscular, postanal

 74 characteristics of Chordates 
 8Phylum Chordata Subphylum Urochordata Ceph
alochordata Vertebrata 
 9Urochordata and Cephalochordata are invertebrate 
chordates 
 10Phylum Chordata Subphylum Urochordata Ceph
alochordata Vertebrata 
 11Vertebrates are characterized by 1) Neural 
crest 2) pronounced cephalization 3) a 
vertebral column 4) a closed circulatory system 
 12Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
 13Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
 14Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
 15Superclass Agnatha The jawless vertebrates 
 16Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
 17Two important evolutionary steps furthered the 
 diversity and resources used by vertebrates 1) 
Jaws 2) Two Paired appendages 
 18Jaws evolved from pharyngeal gill slits 
 19Example of modern jawed, paired appendage, no 
lung organism
Class Chondrichthyes
Cartilaginous endoskeleton 
 20Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
Lungs and Lung derivatives 
 21Bony Fishes (class Osteichthyes)  Swim Bladder 
an air sac that helps control 
buoyancy in fish 
 22Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
Next Big Innovation Legs 
 23First vertebrates on land were Amphibians Legs 
evolved in the ancestor of this group
Oldest Amphibians date to Late Devonian about 
365mya

 28Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
Next Big Innovation Amniotic Egg 
 29The Amniotic Egg allowed vertebrates to further 
explore terrestrial habitats Why? 
 30The Amniotic Egg allowed vertebrates to further 
explore terrestrial habitats because it 
allowed embryonic development to be 
completed in the absence of water  thus 
 enabling complete terrestrialism 
 31Amniotic egg  provides nutrients and protection

 33Modern Reptiles 
 34Gave rise to all other vertebrates 
 35Which classification? 
 36Endotherm  Uses metabolic Energy to Regulate 
Body temp
- Ectotherms 
 -  uses Environmental Energy to 
 - Regulate body temperature
 
  37Polyphyletic vs. monophyletic? 
 38Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
An adaptive Innovation Flight 
 39Flight adaptations  
 40Origin of Birds Share a common ancestor with 
Dinosaurs 
 41- -A bird-like 
 - Reptile 
 - an intermediate 
 - Lineage between 
 - Birds and dinosaurs
 
  42Overview of Chordate Phylogeny 
Mammals and Hair
Mammals date back to Triassic, 220mya 
 433 major groups of mammals 1) Monotremes  
egg-laying mammals 2) Marsupials  pouched 
mammals 3) Eutherians  placental 
mammals evolved about 70 mya, during the 
late Cretaceous

 46Evolved to fill similar niches 
 47Primates and the phylogenyof Homo sapiens 
 48- Primate Ancestor Features 
 - First primates evolved from insectivores in 
Cretaceous  - Early primates were small arboreal mammals 
 - Adaptations to tree life 
 - -Limber shoulder joints 
 - -dexterous hands 
 - -eyes close together 
 - -Parental care
 
  49Two groups of modern primates Prosimians and 
Anthropoids
Similar to Tree dwelling ancestors
