16.2 Ideas That Shaped Darwin’s Thinking Lesson Overview 16.2 Ideas That Shaped Darwin’s Thinking

THINK ABOUT IT Darwin’s voyage on the HMS Beagle came during one of the most exciting periods in the history of science. ________________, studying the structure and history of Earth, were making new observations about the forces that shape our planet. _________________ were investigating connections between organisms and their environments. These and other new ways of thinking about the natural world provided the foundation on which Darwin built his ideas.

An Ancient, Changing Earth By Darwin’s time, the relatively new science of __________________ was providing evidence to support new and different ideas about Earth’s history. Geologists _____________ and ___________ formed important hypotheses based on the work of other researchers and on evidence they uncovered themselves. Hutton and Lyell concluded that _________________ and that the processes that changed Earth in the past _____________ processes that operate in the present.

Hutton and Geological Change Hutton recognized the connections between a number of ___________________ and __________________, like mountains, valleys, and layers of rock that seemed to be bent or folded. He realized, for example, that certain kinds of rocks are formed from _______________.

Hutton and Geological Change Hutton also realized that some other kinds of rocks ____________________, as sediments build up and are squeezed into layers. The rock layers in the _________________ were laid down over millions of years and were then washed away by the river, forming a channel.

Hutton and Geological Change Hutton also proposed that forces beneath Earth’s surface can ___________________________, tilting or twisting them in the process and eventually forming mountain ranges. Mountains, in turn, can be ______________ by rain, wind, heat, and cold. Since most of these processes operate very slowly, Hutton concluded that our planet must be ________________ than a few thousand years. Hutton introduced a concept called ______________—the idea that our planet’s history stretches back over a period of time so long that it is difficult for the human mind to imagine—to explain his reasoning.

Lyell’s Principles of Geology Lyell presented a way of thinking called ________________________, the idea that the geological processes we see in action today must be the same ones that shaped Earth millions of years ago. Ancient volcanoes released lava and gases, just as volcanoes do now. Ancient rivers slowly dug channels and carved canyons in the past, just as they do today.

Lyell’s Principles of Geology Lyell’s theories, like those of Hutton, relied on there being enough ____ in Earth’s history for these changes to take place. Like Hutton, Lyell argued that Earth was much, much ________ than a few thousand years. Otherwise, how would a river have enough time to carve out a valley? This woodcut from Lyell’s Principles of Geology shows geological features near Italy’s Mount Etna. Among them is a deep channel, labeled “B,” carved into a bed of lava.

Lyell’s Principles of Geology Lyell’s work helped Darwin appreciate the significance of an ________________________ he witnessed in South America. The quake was so strong that it _______________ _______________________ more than 3 meters out of the sea—with mussels and other sea animals clinging to it. Sometime later, Darwin observed ____________ of marine animals in mountains thousands of feet above sea level.

Lyell’s Principles of Geology Darwin realized that he had seen evidence that _________________________! Geological events like the earthquake, repeated many times over many years, could build South America’s Andes Mountains—a few feet at a time. Rocks that had once been beneath the sea could be pushed up into _____________________. Darwin asked himself, if Earth can change over time, __________________________________?

Lamarck’s Evolutionary Hypotheses _____________________ wasn’t the first scientist to suggest that characteristics of species could change over time. Throughout the eighteenth century, a growing _______________ supported the idea that life somehow evolved, but ideas differed about just how life evolved. In 1809, the French naturalist _________________________ proposed the hypothesis that organisms could change during their lifetimes by ____________________________ various parts of their bodies. He also suggested that individuals could pass these ____________________________ on to their offspring, enabling species to change over time.

Lamarck’s Ideas Lamarck proposed that all organisms have an inborn urge to become more _____________________, and to change and acquire features that help them live more successfully in their environments. Lamarck thought that organisms could change the size or shape of their organs by ________________________.

Lamarck’s Ideas For example, a ________________ could have acquired ____________ because it began to wade in deeper water looking for food. As the bird tried to stay above the water’s surface, its legs would grow a little longer. Black-necked stilt

Lamarck’s Ideas Structures of individual organisms could also change ______________________. If a bird stopped using its wings to fly, for example, its wings would become smaller. Traits altered by an individual organism during its life are called _______________________________. Cormorant Bird

Lamarck’s Ideas Lamarck also suggested that a bird that acquired a trait, like longer legs, during its lifetime could pass that trait on to its offspring, a principle referred to as _________________________________. Thus, over a few generations, birds like the black-necked stilt ________________ longer and longer legs.

Evaluating Lamarck’s Hypotheses Today, we know that Lamarck’s hypotheses were ________________________ in several ways. Organisms don’t have an inborn drive to become more perfect. Evolution does not mean that over time a species becomes “____________” somehow, and evolution does not progress in a predetermined direction. In addition, traits acquired by individuals during their lifetime _______________________________.

Evaluating Lamarck’s Hypotheses However, Lamarck was one of the first naturalists to suggest that ______________________________. He was among the first to try to explain evolution scientifically using ___________________________. He also recognized that there is a link between an organism’s ____________ and its _______________________.

Population Growth In 1798, English economist __________________ noted that humans were being born faster than people were dying, causing overcrowding. This nineteenth-century engraving shows the crowded conditions in London during Darwin’s time. The forces that work against population growth, Malthus suggested, include _________________________________. He reasoned that if the human population grew unchecked, there wouldn’t be enough ______________ and ________ for everyone.

Population Growth Darwin realized that Malthus’s reasoning applied even more ______________________ than it did to humans. A oak tree can produce thousands of seeds each summer. One oyster can produce millions of eggs each year. However, ____________________ before reaching maturity, and _________________ of those that ________________ manage to reproduce. Darwin had become convinced that species _________, but he needed a scientific explanation based on a _____________ _______________ to explain how and why evolution occurred.

Population Growth When Darwin realized that most organisms don’t survive and reproduce, he wondered _______________________ ______________________________?

Artificial Selection To find an explanation for change in nature, Darwin studied change produced by _______________________________. Breeders knew that individual organisms _________, and that some of this variation could be _________________ _______________ and used to improve crops and livestock. For example, farmers would ____________ for breeding only trees that produced the largest fruit or cows that produced the most milk. Over time, this ______________________ would produce trees with even bigger fruit and cows that gave even more milk.

Artificial Selection Darwin called this selective breeding process ___________________, a process in which nature provides the variations, and humans select those they find useful. Darwin put artificial selection to the test by raising and breeding _________________________________.

Artificial Selection Darwin had no idea how __________________ worked or what caused ______________________, but he did know that variation occurs in wild species as well as in domesticated plants and animals. Before Darwin, scientists thought variations among individuals in nature were simply ___________________. Darwin recognized that ____________________ was very important because it provided the raw material for evolution. When Darwin published his scientific explanation for evolution, it changed the way people understood the living world.
