Chapter 16

Primate Evolution

3

16.1 PrimatesMain Idea Primates share several behavioral &

biological characteristics indicating that they evolved from a common ancestor.

4

16.2 Hominoids to HomininsMain Idea Hominoids evolved into hominins likely

in response to climate changes of the Miocene.

5

16.3 Human AncestryMain Idea Tracing the evolution of the genus Homo

is important if we are to understand humans, the only living species of Homo.

Chapter 17

Organizing Life’s Diversity

Big Idea:Evolution underlies the classification of life’s diversity.

17.1 The History of Classification

Main Idea Biologists use a system of classification

to organize information about the diversity of living things.

8

Early Systems of Classification Aristotle’s System (394-322B.C.)

Early Systems of Classification Linnaeus’s

System (1707-1778)

17.1 Key Concepts Aristotle developed the 1st widely accepted

biological classification system

Linnaeus used morphology & behavior to classify plants & animals.

Binomial nomenclature uses Latin genus & specific name to give an organism a scientific name.

Organisms are classified according to a nested hierarchical system

19

17.2 Modern ClassificationMain Idea Classification systems have changed

over time as information has increased.

types that have characteristics or traits in common

27

17.2 Key Concepts The definition of species has changed over time.

Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species, evidence for which comes from a variety of studies.

A molecular clock uses comparisons of DNA sequences to estimate phylogeny & rate of evolutionary change.

Cladistic analysis models evolutionary relationships based on sequencing derived characters.

28

17.3 Domains & KingdomsMain Idea The most widely used biological

classification system has 6 kingdoms within 3 domains.

29

30

Grouping Species 3 Domains

Prokaryote versus Eukaryote 6 Kingdoms

31

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Protista

Algae, Protozoans, Euglenoids

Kingdom Fungi

32

Domain Eukarya Kingdom Plantae

Kingdom Animalia

33

17.3 Vocabulary Archaea

Eubacteria

Fungus

Protist

34

17.3 Key Concepts Domains Bacteria & Archaea contain prokaryotes.

Organisms are classified at the kingdom level based on cell type, structures, & nutrition.

Domain Eukarya contains 4 kingdoms of eukaryotes.

Because viruses are not living, they are not included in the biological classification system.
