C. Thomas Malthus (an economist) 1. Essay on the Principles of Population (1798)
a. populations of organisms increase geometrically b. rate of reproduction too high to be sustainedc. warning against human overpopulation
2. but in nature, this does not seem to occur 3. Darwin’s answer: death (selection) limits population numbers 4. This provided missing link for Darwin

D. Alfred Wallace 1. came to same conclusions while in Indonesia 2. published his findings along with Darwin (1858-59)

E. Darwin: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection 1. descent with modification 2. closely related species likely from common ancestor

Darwin’s Theory
Hypothesis 1: Every organism has the potential to leave more than one offspring.Hypothesis 2: The number of individuals within a species remains fairly constant over time.Prediction A: If 1 and 2 are true, then not all individuals realize their reproductive potential.
Hypothesis 3: Individuals within a species vary in terms of their traits.Hypothesis 4: At least some of these traits are inherited.
Prediction B: If A, 3, and 4 are true, then some individuals are better suited for their environment, leaving more offspring. Their traits become more common.

Darwin’s Theory
Better suited individuals have inherited those traits, and they pass them on to their offspring.Survival of the fittest = Reproduction of the fittest.

Biostratigraphy: The science that deals with the distribution of fossils in the rock record and organizes strata into units on the basis of their contained fossils.
The oldest layer is on the bottom. Rocks were deposited one layer at a time from the bottom up.
(Pojeta and Springer, 2001)

The combination of strata and radiometric dating clearly demonstrates progressive change in the fossil record.

Molecular Record
1. as organisms change, so should their genes2. the more change the more alterations in the nucleotide sequence over time

3. select a gene to studya. organisms more distantly related have greater numbers of differences in their genesb. closer relatives, fewer differences
