B. Lamarck’s Theory:Theory of Inheritance of Acquired
Characteristics 1. Organisms are capable of changing their
form, proportions, color, agility etc. In response to a specific environmental change.
2. The more they use a particular body part the stronger and better developed that part becomes
3. The physical characteristics that an organism develops through use or disuse can be passed on to their offspring

C. Example1. Giraffe stretches
its neck to reach food, it then passed this trait to it’s children …so giraffes have long necks

D. Darwin’s Survival of the Fittest!
• Explanation for Evolution:Natural Selection:Individuals that have physical
or behavioral traits that better suit their environment are more likely to survive and will reproduce more successfully than those that do not have such traits.

E. Darwin’s Natural Selection Theory
1. Natural Selection: Mechanism for change in a population that occurs when organisms with favorable variations for a particular environment survive, reproduce, and pass these variations on to the next generation

C. Malthus vs. DarwinMalthus believed the availability of a
food supply influenced human population
1. Darwin believed in struggles for existence: Competition-a. Foodb. Spacec. Escape from predators

F. On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection
1. Published in 1859
2. Believed that the earth is not static, but always evolving.

Darwin vs. Lamarck• Darwin believed that the desires of animals have nothing to do with how
they evolve, and that changes in an organism during its life do not affect the evolution of the species. He said that organisms, even of the same species, are all different and that those which happen to have variations that help them to survive in their environments survive and have more offspring. The offspring are born with their parents' helpful traits, and as they reproduce, individuals with that trait make up more of the population. Other individuals, that are not so well adapted, die off. Most elephants used to have short trunks, but some had longer trunks. When there was no food or water that they could reach with their short trunks, the ones with short trunks died off, and the ones with long trunks survived and reproduced. Eventually, all of the elephants had long trunks. Darwin also believed that evolution does not happen according to any sort of plan.
