Genes & Evolution

Genes & Evolution The two engines of evolution Random Mutation Non-Random Selection Mantra – Selection is highly NON-random! This point is often misunderstood by critics of evolution who ask, “How can the eye (or whatever) have evolved from random mutation alone?”.

Converging Evidence for Evolution The evidence for modern evolutionary theory comes from many sources, including: Examination of the resemblance between genomes of various organisms. (molecular) The geographic distribution of animals, and plants. The fossil record (least important…we’re lucky that fossils even occur at all…what a bonus that the fossil record is confirmatory!)

Evolution is Falsifiable We could find evidence that contradicts the evolutionary time line. (We don’t.) We could find an organ that is irreducibly complex. (We don’t.) Falsifiability is a scientific strength (counter-intuitively for some folks)

The “Transitive” Theorem A=B: B=C: Therefore, A=C Psychology depends on Biology There is a biological basis for ALL behaviors, thoughts, and feelings Biology depends on Evolution Therefore, Psychology Depends on Evolution Psychology also depends on the Big Bang, because biology and evolution do, too!
