The purpose of the paper was to analyze the giraffe hypothesis using four approaches: a double-blind random design in which 78 biologists compared the vase skull with Samotherium and several reptiles; an informed survey of 30 art and science students who critically assessed the hypothesis based on images of candidate species; an objective computerized mathematical comparison of the images; and a detailed morphological comparison of the skulls. All of the participants rejected the giraffe hypothesis. The types of eyes and teeth unambiguously discard a mammal, whether fossil or living, as the model. The model was most likely an extant carnivorous reptile of the Varanidae family. 2020 artículo científico 2215-3470 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=475962995009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4759/475962995009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4759/475962995009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4759/475962995009/475962995009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4759/475962995009/movil 10.15359/ru.34-1.9 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4759 Uniciencia application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica Uniciencia (Costa Rica) Num.1 Vol.34 |
