I. Intro to Darwinian evolution
• Unifying principle of biology
• Helps to explain how change has occurred over time
• Nothing magical about how it occurs

III. Definition of evolution
• A. Slow and gradual change over time in organisms appearance in response to environmental change
• B. Organisms living today appear different than their ancestors
• C. Living organisms share common ancestors

IV. Mechanism of Change/Natural Selection
• A. Variation exists in all populations
• B. Reproductive potential
• C. Variable fitness• D. Environmental
carrying capacity• Differential reproduction• Slow gradual change in
phenotype
