The Idea of Evolution• Evolution is the process of change in the inherited
characteristics within populations over generations such that new types of organisms develop from preexisting types.

Ideas of Darwin’s Time
– Scientific understanding of evolution began to develop in the 17th and 18th centuries as geologists and naturalists compared geologic processes and living and fossil organisms around the world.

Ideas about Geology– Among geologists, Cuvier promoted the idea of catastrophism, and Lyell promoted uniformitarianism.

Lamarck’s Ideas on Evolution
– Among naturalists, Lamarck proposed the inheritance of acquired characteristics as a mechanism for evolution. Famous for “use it or lose it!”
– He also proposed the theory that we all have a common ancestor as did Darwin.

Darwin’s Ideas• Descent with Modification
– Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species, in which he argued that descent with modification occurs, that all species descended from common ancestors, and that natural selection is the mechanism for evolution.

Natural Selection
– Organisms in a population adapt to their environment as the proportion of individuals with genes for favorable traits increases.
– Those individuals that pass on more genes are considered to have greater fitness.

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
• Natural Selection: species adapt to their environment over long periods of time
• Descent with modification: species are modifications of their ancestors before them
• Genetic Variation: offspring are variations of their parents
• Darwin’s theories were influenced by Thomas Malthus, a clergyman who wrote about how populations are affected by adverse conditions such as war, disease and limited resources.

The Fossil Record• Evidence of evolution can be found by comparing
several kinds of data, including the fossil record, biogeography, anatomy and development, and biological molecules.
• Evolutionary theories are supported when several kinds of evidence support similar conclusions.

The Age of Fossils
– Geologic evidence supports theories about the age and development of Earth.

The Distribution of Fossils
– The fossil record shows that the types and distribution of organisms on Earth have changed over time.

Transitional Species
– Fossils of transitional species show evidence of descent with modification.

Biogeography
• Biogeography, the study of the locations of organisms around the world, provides evidence of descent with modification.

Anatomy and Physiology
• In organisms, analogous structures are similar in function but have different evolutionary origins.
• Homologous structures have a common evolutionary origin.
Homologous

Anatomy and Physiology, continued
• A species with a vestigial structure probably shares ancestry with a species that has a functional form of the structure.

Embryological Structures
• Related species show similarities in embryological development.

Biological Molecules
• Similarity in the subunit sequences of biological molecules such as RNA, DNA, and proteins indicates a common evolutionary history.

Case Study: Caribbean Anole LizardsOn going examples of evolution among living organismscan be observed, recorded, and tested.• In convergent evolution, organisms that are not closely related resemble each other because they
have responded to similar environments.
• Divergence and Radiation– In divergent evolution, related populations become less similar as they respond to different
environments.– Adaptive radiation is the divergent evolution of a single group of organisms in a new environment.

Artificial Selection
• The great variety of dog breeds is an example of artificial selection.

Coevolution
• Plant pollinators are an excellent example of
co-evolution.
• Each animal has an adaptation to retrieve pollen and help to pollinate plants.

Review• Name 3 theories Darwin is famous for.• How was Lamarck’s theory different that Darwin’s?• Name 3 ways science substantiates the theory of evolution.• Name 3 people responsible for helping Darwin with his theory of
