F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE
FOR EVOLUTION
![Page 2: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
1. Fossils - fit a pattern
![Page 3: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
2. Homologous structures similar structures doing very different functions
a. bones in adults

Tiktaalik was discovered in 2006

b. structures in embryos

3. vestigial features [pg 525]
structures with no function in one organism but have a function in similar organisms
eg human appendix,
The appendix of the gorilla is massive, accounting for its ‘fat’ stomach.
This appendix houses bacteria that breakdown cellulose
![Page 9: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
whale pelvis
A whale pelvis has the same bones as land animals, but is not attached to the spine and so is useless.
![Page 10: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
4. artificial selection a. dogs
All of these dogs have a recent common ancestor.
![Page 11: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
b. pigeons
Darwin kept pigeons and was familiar with their breeding and how almost any trait could be selected for by the breeder..
![Page 12: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
the key is that artificial selection happens much faster
as humans discard the unsuitable breeders
![Page 13: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5. Mechanisms of Darwinian Evolution by Natural Selection
ASSUMPTIONS
1. offspring vary
Note the differences among these kittens.
![Page 14: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. some of this variation is heritable
Setters produce setter pups, not retriever pups.
![Page 15: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. more offspring are born than can survive
If all of these baby spiders survived, the world would be overrun!
![Page 16: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. populations generally do not increase in size
![Page 17: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
INFERENCES
1. individuals of the same species will compete
2. the survivors will pass on their ‘favourable’ traits to the next generation
3. over time, there will be more traits from the survivors in the population
![Page 18: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
6. Macroevolution vs Microevolution
Macroevolution – change to form new species
eg Darwin’s finches
many species arising from one common ancestor
this takes a very long time
[10,000’s millions of years]
![Page 19: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Microevolution - change within a species
eg. bacteria antibiotic resistance
all were sprayed with herbicide but one remains green
this takes only a short time [10’s 1000’s of years]
and weeds herbicide resistance
![Page 20: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Prior to industrialization, the light form was most common
In this one species, there are two forms of moths
eg. peppered moths
light-coloured pre-Industrial trees
![Page 21: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
light-coloured pre-Industrial trees
dark-coloured post-Industrial trees
prior to industrialization, the light form was most common
after industrialization, the dark form became the most common
Studies showed that predators selected the easier to find moths
![Page 22: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Darwin’s explanation for the longer necks in giraffes?
He knew that some baby giraffe’s are born with slightly longer necks.
There is limited food and so these longer-necked giraffes might get more food and do better.
Over time, more of the population would consist of loner necked giraffes.
But Darwin was wrong!!
![Page 23: F. DARWIN’S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. 1. Fossils- fit a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ee65503460f94bf5d7d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Neck length is giraffes has nothing to do with food
Giraffes spend most of their time eating low, not high
And bending down to get a drink is very awkward
So why do giraffes need long necks?
For fighting!!
