A change in a kind of organism over time Charles Darwin ( ) Wasn’t the first person to recognize that evolution has happened and is happening Was the first to propose a feasible mechanism for evolution. It is called descent with modification. Scientists have found large amounts of evidence to support Darwin’s views of evolution.

Theory:

Theory: well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Remember: The word “theory” in everyday language and in scientific language means very different things. In everyday language, people use the word theory to mean a hypothesis or an educated guess. In science, people use the word theory to represent an idea that is strongly supported by evidence. It is accepted and used to explain many observations.

Cell theory: all living things are made up of one or more cells, etc. Atomic theory: all matter is made up of one or more atom, etc.

Darwin published his book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, in In it, he outlines the major points of his theory.

Natural selection:

Darwin published his book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, in In it, he outlines the major points of his theory. Natural selection: Process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment to survive and reproduce most successfully; also called survival of the fittest

Natural selection: Process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment to survive and reproduce most successfully; also called survival of the fittest You can remember the main points behind natural selection as VISTA

Variation:

Variation: Members of the same population have different characteristics; no organism is exactly the same as another

Inheritance:

Variation: Members of the same population have different characteristics; no organism is exactly the same as another Inheritance: Certain traits can be passed down through generations

Variation: Members of the same population have different characteristics; no organism is exactly the same as another Inheritance: Certain traits can be passed down through generations We know that heritable variation is due to genes. Variation in genetic material is due to:

Variation in genetic material is due to: Mutations: changes in a DNA sequence that affect genetic information Sexual reproduction:

Variation in genetic material is due to: Mutations: changes in a DNA sequence that affect genetic information Sexual reproduction: process by which cells from two different parents unite to produce the first cell of a new organism

Survival and reproduction:

Survival and reproduction: Organisms must survive in their environment and successfully mate and reproduce with another member of their species

Natural selection is often referred to as “survival of the fittest.” What is “fitness?”

Survival and reproduction: Organisms must survive in their environment and successfully mate and reproduce with another member of their species Natural selection is often referred to as “survival of the fittest.” What is “fitness?” Certain characteristics and behaviors make an organism more likely to survive in a given environment when competing with other members of the population

Time:

Time: Generation after generation, individuals continue to compete to survive and produce offspring, and not all are successful

Adaptation:

Time: Generation after generation, individuals continue to compete to survive and produce offspring, and not all are successful Adaptation: any inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival

Time: Generation after generation, individuals continue to compete to survive and produce offspring, and not all are successful Adaptation: any inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival Darwin referred to this accumulation of adaptations over time as

V: Giraffes had different neck lengths I: The lengths of the necks could be passed on from one generation to the next S: Giraffes with longer necks were able to get more food and so they could survive to reproduce T: Gradually, each succeeding generation of giraffes had longer necks because the longer necked giraffes were surviving more often than the short necked giraffes A: Overall, the populations of giraffes all had long necks.

Voyage of the Beagle After graduating from college, Darwin took a job as the naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle, a boat that was traveling around the world with the purpose of creating better maps. Darwin collected living organisms, fossils and other evidence of living things every time the ship landed in a new area.

What did Darwin observe on his travels?

Fossils:

What did Darwin observe on his travels? Fossils: preserved remains or evidence of an ancient organism

What did Darwin observe on his travels? Fossils: preserved remains or evidence of an ancient organism Darwin wondered Why had so many of these species disappeared? How were they related to living species?

Organisms on Islands

What did Darwin observe on his travels? Organisms on Islands Studied the finches and giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands

What did Darwin observe on his travels? Organisms on Islands Studied the finches and giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands Found that organisms on the islands were similar to those on the mainland, but had slightly different characteristics that allowed them to survive in their new habitats

Organisms on Islands Studied the finches and giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands Found that organisms on the islands were similar to those on the mainland, but had slightly different characteristics that allowed them to survive in their new habitats Darwin wondered Why was there so much diversity? Is there a way that leads to such a variety of ways of reproducing?

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution Through the Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics Use and disuse: Organisms can alter the size or shape of their body by using their bodies in new ways Parts of their body would decrease in size if they weren’t used, and over the course of generations, completely disappear

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution Through the Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics Inheritance of acquired characteristics Acquired characteristics are passed down to future generations If you spent a lot of time lifting weights and building muscles, your children will be born with big muscles

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution Through the Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics Example: Giraffe’s long neck Giraffe’s necks got longer because they would stretch to reach the highest leaves Their offspring were born with these stretched necks, and continued to stretch them even longer, giving birth to offspring with even longer necks Does Lamarck’s theory of evolution work?

Lamarck was wrong, but we can learn from his mistakes. Acquired traits aren’t inherited. Only traits determined by our genes are inherited. During Darwin’s time people did not know how traits were inherited. They had no knowledge of genes and DNA.

Darwin wanted to ensure that he had as much research as possible to support his ideas. 1. Studied the diversity of barnacles: collected specimens from all he could find to study their differences amongst the populations 2. Bred Fancy Pigeons: bred pigeons for a period of time to examine their different beaks and how they were inherited Artificial Selection: selection by humans for breeding of useful traits from the natural variation among different organisms

Fossil Record Different layers of rock are formed at different times during Earth’s history The deeper the rock, the older it is Fossils found in deeper layers are older Can be used to see how organisms have changed over time

Biogeography Different animals found on different continents but in similar climates and environments demonstrated similar behaviors or had similar anatomy

Comparative Anatomy Homologous Structures: structures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissues Examples: Human arm, cat leg, whale fin, bat wing

Vestigial Organs: Organs that are reduced in size and serve little or no function Examples: Traces of leg bones in snakes, human appendix

Comparative Embryology The early stages of many animals with backbones are very similar (be careful  Not identical!)

Molecular Biology All living organisms are made of the same basic materials Proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids

It is incorrect to think of evolution by natural selection as a process that takes a long time to see occurring. We can see changes in groups of organisms from generation to generation. Here are some examples of evolution that is occurring around us.

Antibiotics: drugs intended to kill or interfere with the growth of bacteria Used to be known as “magic bullets” or “wonder drugs” because they were so effective Mutations have resulted in antibiotic resistant bacteria that can survive the medication If they survive, they reproduce more antibiotic resistant bacteria Bacteria reproduce really quickly so once powerful antibiotics are now sometimes useless.

We use pesticides to keep insects from destroying crops Mutations result in insects that are resistant or immune to certain pesticides Pesticide resistant insects then survive and reproduce, resulting in more pesticide resistant insects.
