I. What is evolution?A. Evolution is any change in the genes of a
population over timeB. Examples:
1. Antibiotic resistance in bacteria2. Loss of legs by snakes and whales

II. Different kinds of theories of how the world became as it is today
A. Big Bang – explosion of a mass of matter to create the universe (solar system ~ 4.6 billion years old)
B. Creationism – Everything created by a divine beingC. Spontaneous generation – life “just appears”

II. Different kinds of theories of how the world became as it is today
D. Abiogenic molecular evolution1. Organic molecules gradually assembled from inorganic elements2. Haldane’s beliefa. “Hot dilute soup” – Earth’s primitive atmosphere had H2O, CO2, ammoniab. Organic molecules formed with energy from UV radiation

II. Different kinds of theories of how the world became as it is today
3. Oparin’s beliefa. Energy from the sun, lightning, and
volcanic heat formed organic molecules

II. Different kinds of theories of how the world became as it is today
E. Evolution – gradualism – SLOW change over time1. First life was probably a “protocell”a. membrane bound cell that reproducedb. Heterotrophic (photosynthesis came later)c. Prokaryotic – early bacteria2. Probably happened 4 billion years BP (before the present)3. Life may have originated more than once!

III. History of Evolutionary Theory
A. Jean Baptiste de Lamarck – French biologist1. First to notice that fossils were remains of past life2. Lamarckism, or The Theory of Use and Disuse
a. organisms acquire adaptations during their lifetime and pass them on to their
offspring
![Page 9: Evolution Notes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167d9550346895ddd33d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
III. History of Evolutionary Theory
b. examples:1. Snakes lost legs to move well in
dense vegetation2. Giraffes developed long necks
from stretching3. Any change would be passed on
to their offspring3. This theory was later disproved by genetics

If Lamarckism was true, women wouldn’t need to do this:

IV. Support for the theory of evolution
A. Sequence of fossil types1. Fossils – evidence of past life (bones, teeth,
shells, imprints, coprolites)2. Rocks are formed in layers – older rocks are
deeper3. Fossils in old layers are older and more simple

V. Example of Natural Selection
A. Microevolution – change of genes in one populationB. Peppered moth in England
1. Industrial melanism (change in color)2. Moths were originally white or peppered gray3. Industrial revolution caused pollution4. Soot covered trees, causing them to be darker5. Birds saw and ate light moths on dark trees6. Dark “mutations” of the moth could blend in and
survive7. Population shifted to the dark version of the moth
