If the two sister species on the phylogenetic tree in the figure below differ from the other two species in a single character state (e.g., dark fur, whereas the other taxa have light fur), where would the evolutionary change(s) have occurred? Indicate change(s) by placing an arrow-or arrows-on the tree. Be sure to label the presumed ancestral state, and label the arrow(s) as a "loss" or "gain."
