Inheritance- The offspring of the mutated horses inherited these helpful mutations, such as hooves instead of toes, making it more wide spread. 
Selection- These mutations had and still have added advantages. The different foot type (Hoof, Toed foot, or in between.) made them more susceptible to survival, while the non-mutated horses die off because they can not survive.
Time- All of this takes a lot of time. Staring off with just one mutated horse to the entire population of horses.]]> 2017-06-12 21:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176160568 joshua_hammack https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176161384 The horse started developing hooves instead of toed feet through mutations. These mutations were just right for the environment they lived in, which gave them a greater advantage. Only the mutated horses survived and mated with other horses to get mutated offspring. After a long period of time, they started to out number the unchanged horses until it was only them.]]> 2017-06-12 21:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176161384 joshua_hammack https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176313941 The information I recorded suggests that the evolution of a horse is, in fact, divergent. This is because the horse started off as one species, then split off into two. As mentioned before, the original species died off. ]]> 2017-06-13 20:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176313941 joshua_hammack https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176315345 The horses feet had mutated.

Because the horses with mutated hooves could survive with ease, the females wanted to mate those horses so their offspring could survive just like the other mutated horses.]]> 2017-06-13 21:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176316845 joshua_hammack https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176327436 The population Merychippus, or hoofed horses out numbered the number of Mesohippus, or toed horses.

This is the whole reason why the horses even evolved. ]]> 2017-06-14 03:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua_hammack/9nrbs2mcetg4/wish/176344582
