Dawin's two theories of evolution decedent with modification have been shown throughout my whole research. The ostrich, Emu, and Rhea all have traits that have been passed down and still are being passed down today. Weather it it was a developed trait/adaptation that has been introduced to the community or one that came from the long lost ancestors it proves evolution is real. Natural Selection

Overtime these flightless birds have ;earned to adapt to many things. Due to them being flightless they have overtime developed stong leg muscles to use when they are hunting

# data[].attributes.body
Emu, Ostrich, and Rhea all try to attract the female by performing a dance to her. These birds do not randomly mate, they mate with only other birds of there type

Ostriches are not one's for going long distances and migrating, but they will on occasion migrate smaller distances for food and resources

Order struthioniformes are divergent because they are very similar to those of the birds. Although they have similar traits they have there differences and adaptations that they have accumulated over the century.

# data[].attributes.body
The Taxonomic group order struthioniformes has evolved overtime which Gradual Equilibrium because overtime the birds have changed and formed what the modern ostrich is today

The birds in my taxonomic group all share similar DNA strands, will little genetic alterations. This is why they all are very similar

~Since Ostrich, Emu, Rhea, etc. cannot fly they learned to except the fact that they can't. Although it is a good trait to have, sadly they are all flightless birds. Instead they overtime developed strong running legs to hunt.

# data[].attributes.body
Although humans are not common ancestors with Ostriches, Rhea and Emu, they have many similar bones and structures as us humans. From a humans waist down it is very similar to the lower body of an ostrich.

# data[].attributes.body
This is another model of the pelvis of Ostrich and there common ancestors. They are all very similar due to the idea of evolution from ancestors

# data[].attributes.body
Between Rhea, Emu and Ostriches, all appear to have;
~under developed breast muscles
~they don't have a keeled sternum
~Wishbone is practically absent
~Simplified wing structure
~Strong legs with no air chambers
Overtime the ancestors of these animals made everyone of these physical structures possible

These fossils all relate back to each other in some way, due to evolution they have all evolved and helped shaped the ostrich, rhea and emu today
