1. Evidences of evolution

2. 1.Paleontology or the Fossil Record
The surface layers
have more complex
land animals
The middle layer
early vertebrates and
amphibians
The bottom layer has
simple aquatic organisms

3. The fossils are formed in sedimentary rock.
Organisms are buried as each new layer of sediment covers the organisms.
The hard parts make a mold in the sediments.
Minerals deposit in the molds and make a perfect cast or copy of the organism.
Some organisms leave traces of their presence that can also be fossilized, such as foot prints, excrement, or nests

4. Cool Canadian Stuff to see before you die
Burgess Shales, Yoho national Park,BC
(on top of the Rockies)
Soft bodied marine organisms 540 million years old (middle Cambrian)

5. Royal Tyrell Museum, Drumheller, Alberta
Albertasaurus
Tricerotops
Ankylosaurus

6. La Brea Tar Pits California
Whole organisms mummified having drowned in the tar
Woolly Mammoth
Sabre tooth Tiger

7. 2. Comparative Anatomy or Homologous structures in Mammals
The arms don’t look the same.
The arms have different functions.
The bone structure in the arms is the same.
It comes from a common ancestor

10. 3. Developmental Embryology Phylogeny mimics Ontology
Our evolution is mirrored in our embryonic development.

11. The longer our embryos are the same the more closely we are related
The longer our embryos are the same the more closely we are related evolutionarily

12. 4. Comparative molecular Biology Proteins, Genes, DNA
This is an evolutionary tree of the
Enzyme cytochrome-p450
The more differences there are in the
Amino acid sequence the less they are
related

13. DNA comparison or Hybridization
Denaturing: if you heat DNA it pulls apart.
If you mix it with denatured DNA from another species and cool it they will aneal or the complementary parts will stick together.
If you heat it a second time they will separate.
The more complementary base pairs they have the hotter the temperature needed to pull them apart.
Species with lots of complementary base pairs are closer evolutionarily.

14. 5. Biogeography Global distribution of plants and animals, Continental drift
In the Galapagos
and ancestor finch
blew in on a storm
from Equador.
The finch then adapted
to its new environment.
New species arose.
This is called
adaptive radiation.

15. The closer the islands the more closely related the species.

16. As continents moved apart climate changes would also cause adaptive radiation.
Similar fossils and living species are found in areas once closely connected
