What is Evolution?• Evolution is…..– Change in a species over time– The process by which modern
organisms have descended from ancient organisms
– A theory• Well-supported testable
explanation (hypothesis) of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world
• Used to be called “transmutationism”
![Page 4: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Charles Darwin• The major contributor to the theory• Born Feb. 12, 1809– Same day as Abe Lincoln!
• Theology major in college– Religion
• Competitor– Alfred Wallace– Published work on natural selection
before Darwin• Very Controversial character
![Page 5: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Darwin’s Expedition• H.M.S. Beagle– Darwin took a trip around the
world on a ship• Like a vacation
– Went ashore when the ship ported
– Gathered animals and other evidence for his ideas
– Galapagos Islands• Main area of collection and
influence on his work• 1000 km west of South America
![Page 6: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What did he find?• Patterns of diversity– Looked at why certain organisms were
found in only certain spots–Why did they survive there when
others didn’t?• He looked at Galapagos turtles and
finches in particular
![Page 7: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Influences on Darwin’s Work• James Hutton
– Hypothesized that the earth was shaped slowly
– This went against the church btw• Charles Lyell– Principles of Geology– Explained how the earth could be changed
so drastically over time– Volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.– So… if the earth changes over time, can
animals?
![Page 8: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Influences on Darwin’s Work• Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
– French naturalist studied animals’ ability to adapt– Tendency Toward Perfection• Changing to acquire adaptations to reach a perfect state
– Use and Disuse• If an organism doesn’t use a trait, then it’s lost over time• Ie our appendix and coccyx (tail bone)
– Inheritance of Acquired Traits• Traits gained can be passed on• Ie if I lift weights my whole life, then my children will
look like Arnold

Natural Selection“It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” -Charles Darwin
• Survival of the fittest– Fitness: the ability of an individual to survive and
reproduce in its specific environment
• Those individuals that possess adaptations that help them survive the best, will be the ones that reproduce and pass on their genes.

Evolution of PopulationsOccurs when there is a change in relative
frequency of alleles
![Page 12: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Natural Selection and Species Fitness
• Overtime, natural selection results in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population.
• These changes increase a species fitness (survival rate)
![Page 13: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Descent with Modification
• Each living species has descended with changes from other species over time
• Darwin’s idea
![Page 15: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Endosymbiosis Theory
• Theory that during the evolution of the cell, one large bacteria cell engulfed another one that became the mitochondria – This is also how they
thought the chloroplast evolved as well
– They have their own DNA and a double membrane
![Page 16: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Darwin’s Postulates1. Organisms differ; variation is
inherited2. Organisms produce more offspring
than survive3. Organisms compete for resources4. Organisms with advantages
survive to pass those advantages to their children
5. Species alive today are descended with modifications from common ancestors
![Page 17: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Evidence of Evolution1. Fossil Record
2. Geographic Distribution of Living Species
3. Homologous Body structures
4. Similarities in Embryology
![Page 18: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fossil RecordFossil Record provides
evidence that living things have evolved
Fossils show the history of life on earth and how different groups of organisms have changed over time
![Page 19: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Relative Dating• Can determine a fossil’s
relative age• Performed by estimating
fossil age compared with that of other fossils
• Drawbacks – provides no info about age in years– Index fossil: compares time
periods best over a short period of time and a wide geographic range
![Page 20: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Absolute dating• Can determine the absolute
age in numbers• Is performed by radioactive
dating – based on the amount of remaining radioactive isotopes remain
• Drawbacks - part of the fossil is destroyed during the test
Trilobites: related to snowshoe crab

Carbon Dating
![Page 22: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Geographic Distribution of Living Species
• How can animals be similar, but distinctly different?– The ones Darwin saw on the
Galapagos islands must have descended from a common ancestor
• Animals on different continents in similar environments have similar anatomies (body structures) and behaviors
![Page 23: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Convergent Evolution• When species who are
not related evolve similarly due to a similar environmental pressures– Sugar glider and the
flying squirrel
![Page 24: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
More EvidenceHomologous Body
Structures–Structures that have
different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissuese.g. Wing of bat,
human arm, leg of turtle
![Page 25: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Analogous Body Structures
• There appear to be many structures that are similar because of the function they carry out and in their external appearance. However, these structures differ internally. These species are NOT descended from a common ancestor. For example, wings of bat and butterfly are similar in appearance.

Vestigial Structures– traces of homologous organs in other species– Organ that serves no useful function
e.g. Appendix
![Page 29: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Evidence ContinuedSimilarities in
Embryology– In their early stages of
development, chickens, turtles and rats look similar, providing evidence that they shared a common ancestry.
![Page 30: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Speciation– Adaptive Radiation• The process in which multiple species adapt and change
(evolve) due to different environmental pressures from one common ancestor
![Page 31: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How Does Speciation Occur?
• Geographic Isolation– Physical barrier separates a population
• Behavioral Isolation– Capable of breeding, but are separated by
courtship rituals or reproductive strategies• Temporal Isolation– Reproduce at different times
![Page 32: Peppered Moths](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816249550346895dd28abc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Coevolution• When organisms that are
ecologically close -- for example, predators and prey, or hosts and parasites -- influence each other's evolution, we say that coevolution is occurring – One species’ evolution is in response
to the other– One example is the bacteria living in
our stomachs. They have evolved along with us.

Extinction• 99% of all species that have ever lived are now
extinct
