main idea: describe the history of identifying giant panda's ancestry and illustrate the jargons of "homologous" and "analogous" to further explain that the species placement of giant panda should be in its own species
structure:
p1. introduce the giant panda from its habitant and appearance and the debate on the placement of species
p2. further introduce debate, which mentioned above, from 1896. two different opinions
-awd named the giant panda u
-ame concluded that the panda was more similar to the lesser or red panda than to the bear and its appearance was descended from the ancestor common to bears and raccoon and named it a
p3.a number of studies emerged while no consensus achieved.
- in 1964,ddd concluded giant panda belonged to the bear
-d m refuted and concluded it belonged to the raccoon from the grounds of behavior and morphology
- Chinese scientists concluded it belonged to its own species based on the anatomy evidence
p4. the difficulty is high lighted and the key decision to make is to make sure the giant panda is homologous or analogous
- homologous means that the species have common ancestors
- example of mammals and cats
-the more closely related, the more similar genesis is
p5 .difficulty of identifying homologous characteristic is that the genetic basis is rarely understood
- for example, the small morphological change and the apparent structural change result from genetic change in different degrees
p6.definition of analogous and its example
- different genes evolved to the similar direction when responding to environment
-the wings of birds and insects are analogous
-the giant panda is also a case of this type
