Descent with Modification: A
Darwinian View of Life
![Page 2: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Darwin made two points in The Origin of Species.- the species on the earth today descended from ancestral species- the mechanism for evolution is natural selection
![Page 3: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Natural Selection: populations can change over time if individuals with certain traits have more offspring than other individuals
The result of natural selection is evolution- the genetic composition of a population changes over time.

Western culture resisted evolutionary views of life
In the 1700’s, biology in Europe and America was dominated by natural theology- dedicated to discovering the Creator’s plan for studying nature

Carolus Linnaeus sought to discover order in the diversity of life.- specialized in taxonomy: branch of biology that focuses on naming and classifying the diverse forms of life- his system of taxonomy became a focal point in Darwin’s arguments for evolution
![Page 6: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The study of fossils also helped lay the groundwork for Darwin’s ideas.
Fossils: impressions from the past found in sedimentary rocks formed from the sand and rocks of seas and lakes

Gradualism helped paved the way for evolution
James Hutton: explained geologic features through gradualism- change is the cumulative product of a slow but continuous process
![Page 10: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Charles Lyell: incorporated gradualism into uniformitarianism- geologic change occurs at a constant rate
![Page 11: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lamarck placed fossils in an evolutionary context
Jean Baptiste Lamarck: published his theory of evolution in 1809
Remembered for his mechanism of evolution- first idea was use and disuse- second was inheritance of acquired characteristics
![Page 12: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Darwin study of evolution first began as a naturalist on the HMS Beagle- travel around the world observing and documenting the types of plants and animals at the various locations- he did not understand the scope of the findings until after returning to England
![Page 13: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Darwin chose not to publish his findings until prompted by Alfred Walace in 1858
The next year Darwin published The Origin of Species
![Page 15: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Origin of Species developed two main points
Descent with Modification:- as populations spilled into new environments, modifications become prominent over time- helped fit organisms into ways of life
![Page 16: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Natural Selection:- nature chose what features are beneficial and give an increased chance of survival
The history of life is like a tree.- each fork of the tree is an ancestor who is common to others from that fork
![Page 17: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Summary of Darwin’s main ideas-Natural selection is differential success in
reproduction-Occurs through an interaction between the
environment and the variability inherent among the individual organisms making up a population
![Page 19: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The product of N.S. is the adaptation of populations to their environment.
Connection between N.S., the struggle for existence, and the capacity of organisms to “overreproduce.”- Thomas Malthus (1798)
![Page 20: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Artificial selection: the breeding of domesticated plants and animals
N.S occurs between individuals and the environment, but only populations (not individuals) evolve.
N.S. can amplify or diminish only heritable variations (not acquired characteristics)
![Page 21: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Evidence of N.S. provides evidence for evolution
Insecticide-Resistant Insects- natural selection causes the evolution of resistance to insecticides
- only a few insects are resistant to the first wave insecticide
![Page 22: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
- those reproduce and pass on the gene to the second generation
- eventually the whole population will be resistant- Drug-resistant HIV

Homology: similarity of characteristics resulting from common ancestry
Anatomical Homologies- the forelimbs of mammals have the same skeletal structures (homologous structures)
![Page 25: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
- vestigial structures: structures of marginal, if any, importance to the organism
-ex. pelvis and leg bones of snakesEmbryological Homologies
- all vertebrate embryos have pharyngeal pouches some time in their development.

Molecular Homologies: all species of life use the same machinery of DNA and RNA- the more similar the animals, the more similar the genetic material
![Page 28: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Biogeography: the geographic distribution of species- first suggested evolution to Darwin- species tend to be more closely related to others from the same area than to others with the same way of life, but from other areas
- ex. sugar glider (of Australia)
![Page 30: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Islands often have a large amount of biodiversity
They have many endemic species found nowhere else in the world
Small changes can be seen in an island chain or archipelago
![Page 32: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Fossil RecordThe succession of fossil forms is compatible
with other types of evidence for evolution- ex. prokaryote fossils are older than eukaryote fossils- ex. fish fossils, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds
![Page 34: Chapter 22 Notes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56814743550346895db480c9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Many fossils link older fossils with modern species.- ex. change in skull shape and size
