Theory of Evolution Charles Darwin 1809-1882 Who was Charles Darwin

What does the term evolution mean?

Organisms change by use or disuse of certain body part Lamarck – Theory of Aquired Characteristics (rejected) Organisms change by use or disuse of certain body part these enhanced characteristics would be passed on to the offspring. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck 1744-1829

George Buffon the earth might be older than 10,000 years living things do change over time observed that specific fossils and certain living animals were similar but not exactly alike. Comte de Buffon 1707-1788

Lyell’s Contribution (geologist): proposed that geologic processes over a long period of time, such as erosion could explain the physical features of today’s Earth. This led Darwin to think that organisms must also have changed gradually over time in response to the changing Earth. Charles Lyell 1797-1875

Malthus’ Contribution (economist): Populations grow exponentially but limited resources (food supply) will force competition Malthus helped inspire Darwin’s thinking about the “struggle for existence” Darwin developed the idea of Natural Selection

Darwin’s Voyage HMS Beagle – 1831-1836 Purpose: to sail around world and survey little known costal areas

Natural Selection -“survival of the fittest” Individuals with favorable variations (adaptations) are more likely to survive and reproduce How does Evolution Really Work?
