The Theory of Evolution
Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations
Evolution – change in a kind of organism over time; process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms
Can theories change over time?
Are theories supported scientifically?

Darwin studied:
Diversity – he found a wide range of living things well adapted to their environment
Fossils – he was curious as to why some were extinct
Ground Sloth Fossil

Volcanic islands off the west coast of South America
Unique species found nowhere else in the world
How did this
happen?

Darwin Returns Home
After Darwin returned home, he studied his notes and specimens
He struggled with his observations and how they conflicted with his religion
He finally published On the Origin of Species, a book which outlined his theories of natural selection and evolution over time
![Page 9: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Darwin’s Influences:
James Hutton and Charles Lyell – Geologists whose theories suggested that Earth was extremely old and was always changing slowly over time.
Darwin proposed that living things were not fixed in one form, but also changed slowly over time.
![Page 10: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Darwin’s Influences:
Jean-Baptiste Lamark – proposed the theory of acquired characteristics
Use or disuse…some traits were passed down to help survival of offspring
False theory
![Page 11: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Darwin’s Influences
Thomas Malthus – an English economist who studied human population growth
He believed that if humans became overpopulated, they would struggle to survive without sufficient resources
Darwin applied this to animals and plants and believed it was the driving force for evolution.
![Page 12: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Darwin studied variation
Darwin did not know about genes, but did observe traits being passed on
Artificial selection – when humans choose which traits are to be passed on in animals and plants by selective breeding
Examples: Breeds of dogs, pidgeons, cows, corn, Brassica oleraceae
![Page 13: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Darwin proposed Natural Selection
The idea that there is a struggle for survival…need to find food, mates, run away, hide, or protect themselves
Darwin proposed that some individuals were better adapted for their environment
Adaptation - any inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival
“SURVIVAL of the FITTEST”

Descent with Modification
Darwin proposed Descent with Modification
Living things changed over long periods of time due to natural selection
He believed that living things evolved from a “common ancestor”
“Tree of life” links all living things
![Page 16: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Evidence of Evolution:
The fossil record
![Page 18: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Evidence of Evolution
Geographic distribution of living things – different animals on different continents looking similar (marsupial wolf and grey wolf)
Animals that are not closely related have similar adaptations
![Page 19: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evidence of Evolution
Homologous Structures – structures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissues.
Vestigial organs
remnants of
legs in skinks,
appendix in
humans…

Evidence of Evolution
Similarities in Embryology
![Page 21: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pattern of Evolution
Coevolution: the change in two or more species in close association with each other
Ex: Plants and their pollinators
![Page 22: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Patterns of Evolution Cont’d
Convergent EvolutionOrganisms appear similar, but are not related
The environment selects similar phenotypes
Ex: streamlined body of dolphins and sharks
![Page 23: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Patterns of Evolution Cont’d
Divergent EvolutionTwo or more related species become more and more dissimilar• Can result in new species
Response to differing habitats
Adaptive radiation: many related species evolve from a single ancestral species
![Page 24: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Chapter 16 – Evolution of Populations
Evolution in genetic terms – any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population.
Gene pool – all genes (T, t) present in a population
Relative frequency – number of times one allele appears compared to all alleles in the gene pool. (Example: B = 40%, b = 60%)
The population is evolving if the frequency changes
![Page 25: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Sources of Genetic Variation:
Mutations – a change in the sequence of DNA. Caused by chemicals, radiation, or just randomly. Can be harmful, helpful, or have no effect.
Gene shuffling – genes are recombined during the formation of gametes for sexual reproduction. Does not change gene frequencies on its own.
How many genes control one trait?
![Page 27: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Single Gene and Polygenic Traits
If a trait is controlled by one gene it is called a single-gene trait.
Single-gene traits result in only two phenotypes. Example: Tall or Short
Polygenic traits result in a range of phenotypes. Example: height of a human being.
![Page 28: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Which graph represents a polygenic trait?
![Page 29: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Polygenic traits continued…
Directional Selection
![Page 30: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Polygenic traits continued…
Stabilizing selection
(Example: Birth weight)
![Page 31: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Polygenic traits continued…
Disruptive selection
Example: Beak Size
![Page 32: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Genetic Drift
Genetic drift is a random change in gene frequency.
Common in small populations
Founder effect – a small group migrates away from the original group and has a unique gene pool
Examples: Galapagos, Hawaii..
![Page 33: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg principle
If a population does not evolve, it is in genetic equilibrium. It must:
1. Have random mating
2. Consist of a large population
3. No members move in or out of the group
4. Have no mutations
5. No natural selection occurs
Example? Coelacanth?
![Page 34: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Speciation
Species – a group of organisms that can breed with one another and have fertile offspring
Speciation – formation of a new species due to natural selection or chance events
![Page 35: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Isolating Mechanisms
In order for new species to evolve, groups of organisms must be separated or isolated.
If the two groups change enough, and can no longer breed and create fertile offspring, then new species were formed.
![Page 36: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Causes of reproductive isolation -
Geographical isolation – Groups are physically separated.
Ecological isolation- Groups occupy different habitats.
Temporal isolation- reproduce at different times of the day.
Behavioral isolation- no attraction.
Mechanical isolation- structural differences.
Reproductive failure- no fertile offspring.
![Page 37: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Speciation in Darwin’s Finches:
![Page 38: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
17-2 Earth’s Early History and 17-4 Patterns of Evolution
Earth is about 4.6 billion years old
Earth’s early atmosphere probably contained:
Hydrogen cyanide
Carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide
Nitrogen
Hydrogen sulfide
Water
![Page 39: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Where did organic compounds come from?
1950s – Stanley Miller and Harold Urey designed experiments that showed organic compounds could be formed from elements in Earth’s early atmosphere if an electric current was introduced
Lightning could provide the electric current
Amino acids, cytosine, and uracil could be formed in these experiments.
![Page 40: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Organic molecules to cells?
Organic molecules can form tiny bubbles called proteinoid microspheres, almost like oil in water
RNA may have been the first hereditary material, as it can self-replicate and act as catalysts.
These components may have been the first primitive cells…but the exact origin of life is a MYSTERY!
![Page 42: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Early Bacteria created Oxygen
Cyanobacteria (blue green algae) were probably the first living things to manufacture oxygen
Oxygen changed the atmosphere, turned the sky blue, and allowed organisms to respire aerobically (more efficient)
![Page 43: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Endosymbiotic TheoryEukaryotic cells may have formed when larger cells engulfed smaller prokaryotes
Mitochondria and chloroplasts may have been free-floating bacteria
Evidence: They have DNA and ribosomes similar to bacteria and reproduce by binary fission
The ability to respire aerobically and the ability to reproduce sexually increased diversity and influenced evolution
![Page 44: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Extinction
When a species no longer exists on earth
Most extinctions were natural until recent times
Can be gradual for individuals or can be catastrophic mass extinctions that affect multiple life forms
Scientists believe an asteroid impact caused a mass extinction event in the Cretaceous

Adaptive Radiation
When a single species or small group of species evolve into many diverse forms over time.
Examples: Mammals evolved, finches evolved

Convergent evolution
When unrelated organisms that live in similar environments develop similar adaptations to survive

Punctuated Equilibrium
Long, stable periods with little change in species interrupted by brief periods of rapid change
Results from small populations, isolated populations, following mass extinctions…
![Page 52: Chapters 15, 16, and 17 Evolution. The Theory of Evolution Theory – well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Evolution – change](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e1a5503460f94b08402/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Developmental Genes and Body Plans
In some cases, small changes in just a few genes can cause major changes in an organism
Hox genes are “master control” genes for animal body plans
One change in a gene can lead to wingless, one pair, or two pairs
