Origin and Evolution
Given the similar orbits, and surface compositions, this family is thought to be of a similar origin, a collisional family. It could have had a similar origin to that of the Earth's moon, but Eos, not being orbitally dominant, failed to clear out the family with it's gravity.

Famous quotes containing the words origin and/or evolution:
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
