Darwin and the Theory of Evolution

Learning Objectives Describe the pattern Darwin observed among organisms of the Galapagos islands

Why do we have a variety of life forms?

Theory of Evolution

Evolution - Change over time

Theory Theory - a well supported testable explanation of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world.

Charles Darwin English Naturalist Traveled around the world on the HMS Beagle Observed many species and fossils

Voyage of the HMS Beagle During his travels, Darwin made numerous observations and collected evidence that led him to propose the Theory of Evolution

Patterns of Diversity Darwin noticed patterns of diversity amongst the plants and animals he observed during his travels.

Adaptation to Environment Darwin noticed that many plants and animals were well suited to the environment they inhabited.

Darwin’s Finches Darwin noticed small brown birds from different islands with differently shaped beaks

Fossils Darwin collected fossils, the preserved remains of ancient organisms.
