Rio de Janeiro – April 1832
“but in these fertile climates, teeming with life, the attractions are so numerous, that he is scarcely able to walk at all."
“It was impossible to wish for any thing more delightful than thus to spend some weeks in so magnificent a country.
“In England any person fond of natural history enjoys in his walks a great advantage, by always having something to attract his attention;

Evolutionary Change
• Evolution is the observation of change in heritable traits with time
• Changes can occur through selective (deterministic) or random (stochastic) processes.
• Selection – natural selection, artificial selection
• Stochastic – genetic drift, founder effect,

Natural Selection
Variability among individuals in inheritable traits with respect to resource utilization
Resources are limited Potential reproduction exponential
So, Individuals must compete
Actual population growth limited by resources
Competition results in some traits being passed to successive generations at a higher frequency
![Page 12: Charles Darwin and Natural Selection In 1840, age 31 Born 12 Feb 1809 Naturalist on the 2 nd Voyage of the HMS Beagle – 1831-1836 Wrote The Voyage of the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfa61a28abf838c984ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Natural Selection
• Competition results in some traits being passed to successive generations at a higher frequency
Differential survival only important if it results in differential reproduction
• Differential survival is of individuals
Natural selection acts on individuals but results in change frequency of traits in populations.
