“Evolve” Means to Change Over Time
The notion that life on Earth has changed over time is quite old
To be considered science, this notion requires a great deal of evidence

The Development of Evolutionary Theory Naturalists have always wondered at the diversity of living things………Great varieties in shape, size, and ecological roleEstimated 3 million to 20 million different living speciesMuch of the natural world’s biodiversity has vanished through extinction99% of all species that ever lived are now extinctPermian-Triassic Mass ExtinctionWhat Killed the Dinosaurs?

Development of Evolutionary Theory
What could cause such great diversity, and why have so many species died out?
Charles Darwin offered an explanation based on careful observations
Who was Charles Darwin?

Development of Evolutionary Theory
Darwin Concluded:Physical traits and behaviors enable organisms to survive and reproduce (called Fitness )Fitness results from adaptations
Structural (body structures)Behavioral (protection, predation, mating, etc.)Functional (chemicals produced by the organism that perform special functions)

Charles Lyell
Darwin Pieces Together the Puzzle
Author of “Principles of Geology”
This book helped Darwin realize that the earth is old and changes slowly over time.

Malthus wrote “Essay on the Principles of Population”
Populations will always grow larger than the food supply, creating hunger, disease and struggle/competition. Some people live, others die.

Darwin coined the term Artificial Selection - the process of modification of a species through human actions which encourage the breeding of certain traits over others.

What Darwin Learned from Artificial Selection
When chosen organisms are mated, desired characteristics are formed (Darwin didn’t know about DNA)
Individuals in the wild who possess characteristics that make it more likely for them to reproduce will pass along these characteristics to their offspring.
“Desirable" characteristics, in the wild, would be those which enhance survivability, NOT those which specifically satisfy human needs. Nature does the selecting.

Darwin’s View of Evolution

Those giraffes with longer necks got more food and were better able to survive to reproduce, passing on the long-neck genes to their offspring. Over time, giraffes evolved longer necks.

Mechanical Isolation
Mating/Pollination is often impossible between different animal/plant species because of the incompatible shape and size of the reproductive structures.
Size Does Matter!
Example – Black and White Sage Plants
![Page 50: Evolution natural selection_and_speciation most current file](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/55508c1cb4c905a85c8b4dec/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Black sage and white sage plants invite different pollinators
White sage flowers have large landing platforms for large pollinators causing the large pollinators to brush against the stamens, but the small ones usually don’t.
Black sage flowers have small landing platform for small pollinators. Therefore, the small pollinators cannot spread pollen to the white sage flowers therefore cross pollination is no longer possible.

Determining the Age of FossilsRelative Dating: Technique used by scientists to determine the age of fossils relative to fossils in other layers of rock
Different layers represent different geologic periods Older fossils found in lower layers, newer fossils found in upper layersCannot determine the actual age of the fossil!

Determining the Age of FossilsRadioactive Dating: Process by which traces of radioactive elements are analyzed to calculate the actual age of a fossilMany radioactive elements can be used as geologic clocks. Each radioactive element decays at its own nearly constant rate. Once this rate is known, geologists can estimate the length of time over which decay has been occurring by measuring the amount of radioactive parent element and the amount of stable daughter elements Video
![Page 103: Evolution natural selection_and_speciation most current file](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/55508c1cb4c905a85c8b4dec/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Radioactive/Radiometric Dating
How it Works:- radioactive elements (uranium,
Carbon14) break down/decay a specific rates = half life
- these rates are nearly constant
- the amount of radioactive decay that has taken place in a rock/fossil determines its age

- Determines the age of fossils of a biological origin up to approx. 50,000 years old.
- used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood, plant fibers, etc.
