――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― (b) Ancient Tibet was the cradle of evolution for cold-adapted mammals 古西藏據信為現今極地哺乳類動物演化的搖籃 ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 
| The advance and retreat of ice sheets influenced the evolution of animals, USC scientist says For the last 2.5 million years, our planet has experienced cold and warm, millennia-long cycles that collectively have become known as the Ice Age. During cold periods, continental-scale ice sheets blanketed large tracts of the northern hemisphere. As the climate warmed up, these colossal | glaciers receded, leaving Yosemite-like valleys and other majestic geologic features behind. The advance and retreat of the ice sheets also had a profound influence in the evolution and geographic distribution of many animals, including those now living in the Arctic regions.

The advance and retreat of the ice sheets also had a profound influence in the evolution and geographic distribution of many animals, including those now living in the Arctic regions. Xiaoming Wang, an adjunct professor of Earth sciences and biological sciences at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, is the lead author of a new study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. The study identifies a newly discovered 3- to 5-million-year-old Tibetan fox from the Himalayan Mountains, Vulpes qiuzhudingi, as the likely ancestor of the living Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), lending support to the idea that the evolution of present-day animals of the Arctic region is intimately connected to ancestors that first became adapted for life in cold regions in the high altitude environments of the Tibetan Plateau.
