Some people think that universities should provide graduates with knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Other think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake regardless of whether the course useful to an employer. What, in your opinion should be the main function of a university.

The diagram presents the evolution of the

horse

from Eohippus to modern kind, with particular significant changes in foot structure, in a 40-million-year period.

Initially

, the

first

species of

horse

, which is called Eohippus, had a small body and a snout. It had tiny toes that were separate from each other. Eventually, about 10 million years after, an ancestor of the modern

horse

evolved into Mesohippus, which body enlarged while the tail and snout became longer. At

this

point, the middle toe of its leg

also

enlarged. Once the

first

two evolution stages finished, it can be seen that equine transformed into Merychippus with muzzle like a modern species of

horse

, developed thigh and an emerged mane, at about 15 million years ago. At the same time, two

basidigital

bones reduced, whereas the middle toe became even large, resembling a hoof. Over time, Merychippus evolved into well-known modern

horse

with developed elbow, ankle joints, long tail and crest. Here, reduced metacarpals turned into

fetlock

Suggestion

the fetlock

and a present hoof emerged.

As a result

, a

horse

went through different

evolutional

a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)

evolution

stages before transforming into contemporary type.
