1
EVOLUTION Life on earth began as simple and primitive forms, by natural selection, over a long time various complex organisms form
2
Evidences of Evolution 1. Paleontology 2. Geographical distribution of organisms 3. Comparative anatomy 4. Embryology 5. Comparative bio-chemistry
3
Paleontology Study of fossil: Differences between ancient and recent form of an organism
4
Development of Horse
5
Development of Whale
6
Geographical distribution of organisms Owing to geographical isolation, organisms adapted to that isolated habitat and become different. (adaptive radiation)
7
Migration between continents
8
Finch Beak
10
Galapagos tortoise
11
Comparative anatomy Homologous structures as pentadactyl limb have same fundamental structure but different function
12
Eye Evolution
13
Although adult structure is different, structure in embryonic stage is similar. Embryology
14
Comparative bio-chemistry
15
Mechanism of Evolution Lamarck’s Theory Change in environment Organism modify itself More used organ enlarge Less used degenerate The acquired character is inheritable Darwin’s Theory Change in environment Population has inborn different Some good feature fit the environment survive (natural selection) These reproduce and become new species
16
Neo-Darwinism 1. Variation : Mutation and sexual reproduction 2. Natural Selection: The fittest has better chance to survive and reproduce 3. Speciation: New species formation is caused by isolation Geographic isolation: physical barrier Ecologic isolation: different season or zone in habitat Reproductive isolation: different reproductive behavior Genetic isolation: genetic different due to isolation
