What do goosebumps have to do with evolution? Our ancestors were warmer when they “fluffed up” their hair which is easily observable in modern day birds and mammals. Goosebumps may have evolved to “fluff up” the hair or fur on a hairy or furry mammal ancestor to insulate themselves against the cold. Now we have so little body hair, it is useless for insulation purposes. It's not so much that humans evolved goosebumps. Our ancestors evolved them while they still had fur. Over time, evolution caused us to lose our fur,We lost the fur, but not the muscles connected to the hairs.

The hair stands up on the backs of our necks when we are afraid The hair stands up on the backs of our necks when we are afraid. What does this have to do with evolution? Our ancestors looked bigger when they were frightened if their hair stood up. This also can be seen in cats and even chimpanzees.

Ducks are birds that have waterproof feathers Ducks are birds that have waterproof feathers. They live on a pond and on land.

Kangaroos Habitat: Dry inland Australia, including deserts and grasslands Adaptations: Able to go without drinking as long as green grass is available Adapts well to drought. Hop as fast as 40 mph (first line of defense) Tendon in the leg which acts like a rubber band (conserves energy) Tail for balance when the animal leaps and as a prop when it stands.

Gorillas Habitat: Tropical forest Adaptations: Opposable thumb enables manipulation of objects Big toe opposable for grasping. Large and powerful arms to break stalks or uproot vegetation while foraging. High intelligence probably an adaptation for finding scarce or isolated fruit plants in the rain forest.

Cactus Habitat: Dry deserts Adaptations: Spines: Protection from hungry and thirsty animals. Shade Windbreak to prevent dehydration from dry winds To help trap warm air close to the plant. Root systems very close to the surface of the soil  take advantage of the slightest rain shower.

Charles Darwin 1830’s Galapagos Islands (off South America’s west coast)

Natural Selection Organisms born with favorable adaptations would be better able to survive & reproduce than those with unfavorable ones

He was amazed by the variety of life on the islands. Darwin’s Model of Evolution He was amazed by the variety of life on the islands.

Hypothesis: The plants & animals on the islands originally came from Central and South America. But the islands were home to many species he had not seen in South America.

Darwin observed 13 species of that were similar except for differences in body size, beak shape, and eating habits.

He noticed that all finches were similar to 1 finch he saw on the South American coast. Darwin reasoned that the Galápagos finches must have had to compete for food.

Finches with beak shapes that let them eat food survived longer & reproduced more than finches without those beak shapes.

After many generations, these groups of finches became separate species.

Main Points of Natural Selection

Reproduce more offspring than can survive 1. Overproduction Reproduce more offspring than can survive Better adapted  survive & reproduce

2. Competition Limited resources  compete  more adapted will survive & reproduce

3. Variation Differences in the same species  better adapted will survive & reproduce

Ex: Polar bears with thicker fur How do variations occur? mutations & sexual rep

Those most “fit” (with favorable adaptations) will survive & reproduce 4. Survival Of the Fittest

5. Speciation New species form bc favorable adaptations stay & unfavorable disappear

REVIEW: Give an example of an adaptation found in an organism. What is natural selection? Give an example of a variation within a species. What causes the greatest variation within a species? How does overproduction lead to natural selection?
