2. Does this Fish have legs?
Rosy-lipped batfish
Poor swimmer
Uses pectoral fins to crawl on seafloor

3. Charles Darwin: Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
Evolution--Species change over many generations and become better adapted to new conditions
Natural Selection—process by which individuals that are better adapted are more likely to survive and reproduce
1831—naturalist who sailed HMS Beagle from England on 5-year trip around the world
A scientific theory is a well-tested concept that explains a wide range of observations

4. Similarities among organisms
Sloths—Darwin thought fossil bones from giant sloth resembled those of modern-day sloths
Many similarities between Galapagos organisms and those found in S. America
Tortoises on one island had dome-shaped shells, saddle-shaped on other islands
Galapagos iguana has large claws (to grip slippery rocks & eat seaweed) while mainland iguanas have smaller claws (to climb trees & eat leaves)
Plants or animals on the Galapagos Islands faced conditions that were different from the mainland and evolved (changed over time)

5. Galapagos Finches Bird beaks are adapted to food type

6. Warm-Up
Who was the naturalist who traveled around the world on the HMS Beagle in 1831?
Name the term: Species change over many generations and become better adapted to new conditions
Define Natural Selection:

7. Artificial Selection—only organisms with a desired characteristics are bred
Ex: Labradoodle (Lab + Poodle smart, easy going dog that sheds very little)
Ex: Darwin bred pigeons with large, fan-shaped tails

8. English Peppered Moths
Natural Selection—process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce more
Factors affecting process of NS:
Overproduction
Variation
Competition (often indirect)
Environmental Change (ex: monkey flowers in copper- contaminated soil; peppered moths)
English Peppered Moths (

9. Lamarck: Soft Inheritance
--changes in an organism during its lifetime could be passed on to its offspring.
“inheritance of acquired characteristics”
Ex: giraffes stretch their necks to feed on leaves of tall trees. Lamark felt these giraffes would have offspring with long necks.
WRONG!

11. 6.2: Evidence of Evolution
Tiktaalik
375 myo fossil
Has characteristics of both fish and 4-legged animals
Provides information about when the first fish came onto land (

12. What evidence supports Evolution?
Fossils: scientists can infer structure of ancient organisms and see how they are different than today. Fossils provide a record of when/ how organisms evolved
Similarities of early development: developmental similarities (like gill slits & tails) of different organisms (chicken, fish, turtle, and pig)
Similarities in body structure: similar structures (like a backbone in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds & mammals) suggest all evolved from a common ancestor. (Homologous Structures)
Similarities in DNA & Protein Structure: species inherited many of the same genes from a common ancestor.
