CB 26.8
Evolution does not always occur at the same rate.
CB 25.18 Tree of Life
The Genetic Code is universal in almost every organism on earth
CB 17.5
Spontaneous Generation:Life from non-living material
CB 26.2
The Miller-Urey experiment
Prebiotic Synthesis of Adenine and Amino Acids Under Europa-like Conditions by Matthew Levy, Stanley L. Miller, Karen Brinton, Jeffrey L. Bada (2000) Icarus vol 145, Issue 2, pg 609-613
Inorganic compounds (cyanide)
Organic compounds (adenine, guanine, glycine, etc)
frozen at -78 0C for 25 years
CB 25.18 Tree of Life
How are we related, and where did we come from?
CB 34.41
The earth is covered in H. sapiens, but it wasn’t always.
When did these migrations take place?
DNA is passed from generation to generation, and therefore can tell us about relationships between individuals. CB 34.38
Human DNA is divided into 46 chromosomes(23 pairs)
X 23in humans X 23
in humans
X 23in humans
Each of us are a combination of DNA from mom and dad.
Mom provides 50.000275%and Dad provides 49.999825% of DNA to offspring.
… because Mom provides 100% of mitochondrial DNA
CB 13.5
Mitochondrial DNA comparisons can be used to trace ancestry:
Non-Coding DNA is used for comparisons between individuals
Fig 1 and 4
As DNA is passed on mutations take place
Fig 4
Fig 4
By determining the average time between mutations, we can estimate the time of the last common ancestor.
Fig 4
The mutation rate in human mtDNA is one nucleotide change per 20,000 years.ORA difference of one nucleotide between two people indicates a common relative 10,000 years ago.
When did these migrations take place?

•93-95% of genetic variation within population.
•3-5% of genetic variation occurs between populations.
