1. Ideas that shaped Darwin’s thinking

2. The story of the Soapberry bug and the antibiotic resistant bacteria.

3.  Natural selection is a process of editing, not a creative mechanism.  A drug/fruit does not create a different species it selects for specific traits in a population that allow it to survive it that specific environment.

4.  Prior to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution there were 4 scientists that had their own ideas and theory’s  1. Hutton  2.Lyell  3.Lamarck  4. Malthus The Rock Boys!! The Math guy!

5.  Helped scientists understand that Earth is many millions of years old  Processes that changed the Earth in the past are the same processes that operate in the present

6.  In Lyell’s book: Principles of Geology  Rock Cycle: Volcanoes and Earthquakes  Erosion continues to carve out canyons.

7.  Uniformitarianism: the natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now, have always operated in the past. Uniformitarianism How do you pronounce that??

8.  Use or disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime.  Traits could then be passed on to their offspring.

9.  Malthus reasoned that if the human population continued to grow unchecked, sooner or later there would be insufficient living space and food for everyone.  Supporting Darwin’s thought that only those who have the best traits for the environment will find the space, food, etc.

10.  He theorized that there was a “carrying capacity” in every habitat/ environment  Populations will naturally get checked by famine, disease etc.

11.  1. Change over time, common ancestor  Pre-existing variation  2. Variation within a population or species  Everyone is just a little different  3. Natural selection Adaptations  Survival of the fittest

12.  1. Fossil Record  2.Biogeography: Geographical Distribution  3. Vestigial Organs  4. Similarities in Structure  Homologous Structures  5. Similarities in Early development  Embryology Yes, I can support it!

13.  Preserved remains or markings left by organisms that lived in the past are called fossils.

14.  Comparing fossils to present day organisms not only show changes but also what species have become extinct.  Position of fossils can reveal their age. Younger Older

16.  Organisms in different parts of the world shared similarities (continental drift)  Ex. Endemic species

17.  Organs of many animals are so reduced in size that they are just vestiges, or traces, of homologous organs in other species I have a pelvis!!!

18.  Homologous structure: same basic structure but different function  Analogous structure: same basic function, but do not have the same basic structure

19.  Homologous structures: similar structures but have different function  Derived from a common ancestor; different environment conditions  Ex. Forelimb

20.  Analogous structures: similar function but not similar in structure  Not derived from a common ancestor; same environmental conditions  Ex. A butterfly wing and a bird wing

21.  Common pattern in the development  In their early stages, chickens, turtles, and rats look similar, providing evidence that they shared a common ancestor  Posterior tail, pharyngeal pouches

22.  Adopt an Embryo!  Select one embryo to adopt as your own!!

23.  Adopt an Embryo!  1 2 34 5 6 7 8

24.  Stage 2  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

25.  Stage 3

26.  1. Fossil Record  2.Biogeography: Geographical Distribution  3. Vestigial Organs  4. Similarities in Structure  Homologous Structures  5. Similarities in Early development  Embryology Yes, I can support it!

27.  Evolution….”just a theory”….  Life has changed over time, documented and supported

28. HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE  Same Structure different function ANALOGOUS STRUCTURE  Same function different structure Instructions: 1.Read 2.Define 3.Color 4.Chart 5.Answer Questions
