6.1 Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
Why and how have organisms changed over time???
![Page 2: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Think about it from the beginning. . . How do you think all of the creatures we
have today came to be?
![Page 3: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
True or False All creatures were created by God Humans descended from fish God created the first man and woman God created all creatures the way they
are today Whales used to have legs Birds used to be dinosaurs

True or False Humans have as many genes as chickens We are created in the likeness of God Humans have 99% the same DNA as chimps The thumb is the most important attribute that
separates humans from other creatures God created all the creatures of land and sea in
one day Since we don’t chew with great force, the
human species evolved

Charles Darwin Was a religious man From England At age 22 in 1831, he set sail on a five year trip around the world
![Page 6: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Charles Darwin’s Voyage Was ship’s naturalist
Person who studies natural world His job was to learn about living things he
saw on journey Question: why there were so many organisms
that he never saw in England? Observations led to one of the most
important theories of all time

Observations on Journey Diversity
Very different species Fossils
Saw preserved remains of organisms similar but different to organisms alive today
Characteristics of organisms on Galapagos Islands

Galapagos Organisms Galapagos Islands far off coast of S.A. Saw similarities and differences between
organisms on islands and organisms on mainland Ex) iguanas on island large claws to grasp
slippery rocks to feed on seaweed Ex) iguanas on mainland small claws to climb
trees to eat leaves
![Page 11: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Galapagos Organisms (cont’d) HYPOTHESIS: species came to island from
mainland and over time offspring became different from mainland relatives
![Page 12: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Darwin observed ADAPTATION Adaptation
A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce
Example Protection porcupine needles, skunk,
poisonous plants
![Page 13: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adaptations of Galapagos Organisms Finches’ Beaks those eating bugs had narrow
thin beaks, but those eating seeds had strong wide beaks
Iguanas those on mainland had smaller claws allowing them to climb trees to eat leaves. Those on island had large claws that allowed them to grip slippery rocks where they eat seaweed
![Page 14: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bird Beak Adaptation Activity Use tweezers to pick up as much ‘birdseed’
as you can in 10 seconds
Then use clothes pin to pick up as much ‘birdseed’ as you can in 10 seconds.
Compare which method is more effective.

Theory of Evolution Back in England, Darwin developed a
scientific theory and studied it for 20 years Theory is a well-tested concept that explains a
wide range of observations Cannot be proved but can be disproved
Called theory of evolution Root: evolve
![Page 16: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Theory of Evolution Evolution
Gradual change in a species over time Theory of Evolution
Darwin reasoned that organisms that came to islands faced different conditions than on mainland.
Theorized that species gradually changed over many generations and became better adapted to new conditions

Natural Selection: An Explanation Years later, Darwin and biologist Wallace
offered an explanation how evolution could occur In Darwin’s book The Origin of Species

Natural Selection Natural Selection
Process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species
![Page 21: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Factors that Affect Natural Selection Overproduction
Competition
Variation
![Page 22: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Factor #1: Overproduction
More offspring are produced than can survive in most species. . . Why?
Frogs lay hundreds of eggs in a year. . .
![Page 23: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Factor #2 Competition
Direct and indirect (more indirect) Competition of food, shelter, mates
![Page 24: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Factor #3 Variation
Any difference between individuals of the same species
Examples Ex) some fish/turtles swim faster than others Ex) some tigers are more aggressive than others Others????
![Page 25: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Role of Genes Variations can result from mutations and
changing of alleles during meiosis
![Page 26: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Three Factors lead to NATURAL SELECTION!!! Natural Selection
Some variations are better adapted to environment
These are more likely to survive and reproduce Ex: fastest fish escape their hunters Ex: iguanas that camouflage don’t get eaten
“SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”
![Page 27: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Selection (cont’d) Strong parents will pass on variations to offspring As time passes, more members will have these
helpful characteristics Environment “selects” organisms with
helpful traits to be parents of next generation Helpful variations increase, unfavorable one
disappear
![Page 28: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example of Evolution Moths used to be very light because bark
was light—camoflague
Industrial Revolution made lots of pollution and soot which made trees dark
Over time moths became darker and darker to blend in with trees
![Page 29: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Role of Environment Environmental change can lead to selection
Affects ability of organism to survive

Human Evolution Thought that humans have evolved from
apes There are MANY early versions of the
human Our form is homo sapien
We are still adapting We stand upright which is unusual Back and legs not adapted so we have pains

When Darwin was alive, the Catholic Church Against Evolution
![Page 33: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Catholics vs. Darwin Darwin’s theory would mean Creation Story
is not literal or true People thought God made each creature with an
intended PURPOSE that wasn’t to change Darwin said only ‘purpose’ is to reproduce/survive
Darwin’s theory would mean God did not make everything in this world in seven days
Darwin did NOT say God is not real
![Page 34: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Modern Catholic Church No definite stance on evolution of species
of organisms– if they did develop, it was under God’s guidance
Accepts that the biological human form of the body could have developed under God’s guidance but insists on special creation of the SOUL!
![Page 35: 5.1 Intro to Theory of Evolution](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/577ccd1e1a28ab9e788b8c30/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Summary There was once only one or a few species–
all the thousands we have today were once these original species– they evolved gradually over time due to natural selection. That is, the “survival of the fittest” led to changes in characteristics
