Use the concept of coevolution to explain the abundance of large mammals in Africa after the rise of ...

Answer to q. 1

In Africa, the large mammals were able to coevolve with human populations. They were able to adapt
to humans as they slowly went from harmless to dangerous with the advent of hunting skills. On the
other hand, the humans who arrived in the Americas were already skilled hunters. The native
mammals lacked the time to evolve to this new predator. In many ways, the arrival of humans in the
Americas had more in common with an invasive species.

Answer to q. 2

In a mutualism, both species benefit from their interaction with each other. But, each species is
seeking to gain more benefit or give up less in the interaction. Thus, there is a constant evolutionary
battle between the two of how little can be given and how much taken before the interaction fails.

So that's it? I get an expert answer then we move on with our lives? Not too bad
