Evolution: A Definition• Biological evolution is the
change in the characteristics of a population over time.

• Observation: There are 36 different species of cats. (Species = organisms able to reproduce together)
• Question: Where did all of these cats come from?

Possible Hypotheses
• Each species of cat arose independently from one another, and it is only a coincidence that they have such similar characteristics.
• All cats are descendants of a single common ancestor. The differences seen in each species are a result of the evolution over time of this one ancestor species.

Common Ancestors
• Any 2 species share a common ancestor.
• The more similar they are, the more recently it lived.

Which Hypothesis is Correct?• Occam’s Razor: The least complex explanation of a
phenomenon is the most likely to be correct.
• However a cat species came to be, the independent development hypothesis requires it to have happened 36 times.
• The evolution hypothesis only requires the development of 1 ancestor species, which then changes over time.

Kettlewell’s Data
• Kettlewell released moths with a variety of phenotypes in 2 locations, one near the industrial city of Birmingham, and the other in the countryside near Dorset.
• Next, he trapped moths on the following days, and recorded the numbers of each phenotype.

Results?As you might expect,things weren’t so clearcut. For example, doYou think the moth atright is more black ormore white?
Because Kettlewell didall of the classifying andignored the large numberof phenotypes “in between” black and white, his study has beencriticized.
Regardless of those concerns, it has been demonstrated that, as you might expect, darker moths survive better in darker forests.

The Process of Evolution
Variation
Selection
Adaptation
Because of mutation and recombination of genes, there is variation in a population
Selection occurs when some heritable variations allow organisms to survive and reproduce more
Adaptation has two meanings: 1. The process by which an organism becomes better fit to its environment due to selection, and 2. A characteristic of an organism that makes it more fit in its environment.

The Moth Example
Variation
Selection
Adaptation
Color variation from light to dark
Certain colors survive & reproduce more
The moths are more fit because they are better camouflaged

Natural Selection
• Natural selection is the mechanism by which biological evolution happens.
• We’ll get a good definition in a minute… but first, how it works…
• Natural selection requires 3 conditions:
![Page 17: Do Now 5/1 (HW Check) Objectives: 1.Define evolution, variation, natural selection, and adaptation 2.Describe how evolution produces organisms that are](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/5697bff61a28abf838cbe45e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1: Variation• For natural selection to work, there must be a
range of characteristics in a population.
![Page 18: Do Now 5/1 (HW Check) Objectives: 1.Define evolution, variation, natural selection, and adaptation 2.Describe how evolution produces organisms that are](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/5697bff61a28abf838cbe45e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2: Differential Mortality
• Some characteristics or variations allow an organism to survive and/or reproduce more than others.
![Page 19: Do Now 5/1 (HW Check) Objectives: 1.Define evolution, variation, natural selection, and adaptation 2.Describe how evolution produces organisms that are](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/5697bff61a28abf838cbe45e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3: Heritability
• The characteristics that lead to increased survival and reproduction must be able to be passed on to subsequent generations
![Page 20: Do Now 5/1 (HW Check) Objectives: 1.Define evolution, variation, natural selection, and adaptation 2.Describe how evolution produces organisms that are](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/5697bff61a28abf838cbe45e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Definition
• Natural selection is the process by which heritable traits that make it more likely for an organism to survive and successfully reproduce become more common in a population over successive generations.

It’s not just Cats… evolution by natural selection gets the job done every time…

Any Evidence for 36 Independent Developments of Cat Species?
• No new cat species has arisen since the domestication of Felis silvestris catus, 10s of thousands of years ago. In other words, we haven’t seen it happen in recorded history.
• Remember the fallacious argument of negative proof?
• We can’t PROVE the Flying Spaghetti Monster didn’t create 36 cat species… but WWFSMD?

That’s the Basic Idea• Populations of organisms change
over time, driven by the pressure of natural selection.
• Natural selection has 3 basic requirements.
• Although evolution by natural selection can’t be PROVEN,– It is the most parsimonious
explanation of observed facts.– It is supported by several well-
established lines of observable evidence.
– It can be (and has been) used to make testable predictions.
