Fish that developed the ability to walk, or later live

out of water is one example of natural selection.
1. Give your own example of how another species
has adapted via natural selection.
2. How you think one trait could be both
advantageous and disadvantageous? (hint: think
BATFISH Book 374/375)
3. What is Theory of Evolution? (Darwin Theory
Book 384/385)

Essential QUESTION Batfish Pearson

Charles Darwin
CLASS NOTES

Darwin Hypothesized that species

change over many generations and
become better adapted to new
conditions.
Darwin proposed that over a long
time natural selection can lead to
change. Helpful variations may
accumulate in species and
unfavorable disappear.

FORTWOMINUTESQUESTIONBELOW:

Earth has millions of other kinds of

organisms of every
imaginable shape, size, and habitat.
This variety of living things is called biological
diversity . How did all these different
organisms arise?

How are they related?

TURN TO SHOULDER
PARNER TAKE TURNS:
In your own words, describe
what YOU think NATURAL
SELECTION means

Natural Selection

Over time, natural

selection results in
changes in inherited
characteristics of a
population. These
changes increase a
species fitness in its
environment

Darwins Theory of Evolution

Evolution, or change over time, is the

process by which modern organisms have
descended from ancient organisms.

A scientific theory is a well-supported

testable explanation of phenomena that
have occurred in the natural world.

Voyage of the Beagle

EvolutionDocumentaryMovie

Voyage of Beagle
Dates: February 12th, 1831
Captain: Charles Darwin
Ship: H.M.S. Beagle
Destination: Voyage around the world.
Findings: evidence to propose a
revolutionary hypothesis about how life
changes over time

Patterns of Diversity

Darwin visited Argentina and Australia which had

similar grassland ecosystems.

those grasslands were inhabited by very different

animals.

neither Argentina nor Australia was home to the sorts

of animals that lived in European grasslands.

Patterns of Diversity

Darwin posed challenging questions.

Why were there no rabbits in Australia, despite the
presence of habitats that seemed perfect for them?

Why were there no kangaroos in England?

Living Organisms and Fossils

Darwin collected the preserved remains of

ancient organisms, called fossils.

Some of those fossils resembled organisms that

were still alive today.

Living Organisms and Fossils

Others looked completely unlike any creature he had

ever seen.

As Darwin studied fossils, new questions arose.

Why had so many of these species disappeared?

How were they related to living species?

Fossils

The Galapagos Island

The smallest, lowest islands were hot, dry,

and nearly barren-Hood Island-sparse
vegetation

The higher islands had greater rainfall and

a different assortment of plants and
animals-Isabela- Island had rich
vegetation.

The Galapagos Island

Darwin was fascinated in particular by the land

tortoises and marine iguanas in the Galpagos.

Giant tortoises varied in predictable ways from

one island to another.

The shape of a tortoise's shell could be used to

identify which island a particular tortoise
inhabited.

The Journey Home

Darwin Observed that characteristics

of many plants and animals vary

greatly among the islands
Hypothesis:

Separate species may

have arose from an original ancestor

Ideas that shaped Darwins

Thinking

James Hutton:

1795 Theory of
Geological change
Forces change
earths surface
shape
Changes are slow
Earth much older
than thousands of
years

Ideas that Shaped Darwins

Thinking

Charles Lyell

Book: Principles of
Geography
Geographical features
can be built up or torn
down
Darwin thought if
earth changed over
time, what about life?

Lamarck

Lamarcks Theory of Evolution

Tendency toward Perfection(Giraffe

necks)

Use and Disuse (birds using forearms)

Inheritance of Acquired Traits

Are you still paying Attention?

Population Growth

Thomas Malthus19th century English

economist
If population grew
(more Babies born
than die)
Insufficient living
space
Food runs out
Darwin applied this
theory to animals

Publication of Origin of Species

Russel Wallace wrote

an essay summarizing
evolutionary change
from his field work in
Malaysia

This gave Darwin the

drive to publish his
findings

Natural Selection & Artificial

Selection

Natural variation--differences among

individuals of a species

Artificial selection- nature provides the

variation among different organisms, and
humans select those variations they find
useful.

Evolution by Natural Selection

The Struggle for Existence-members of

each species have to compete for food,
shelter, other life necessities

Survival of the Fittest-Some individuals

better suited for the environment

Struggle For Existence &

Survival of The Fittest

Descent

Descent with Modification-Each living organism has

descended, with changes from other species over time
Common Descent- were derived from common ancestors

Summary of Darwins Theory

Individuals in nature differ from one

another

Organisms in nature produce more offspring

than can survive, and many of those who do
not survive do not reproduce.

Summary of Darwins Theory

Because more organisms are produce than

can survive, each species must struggle for
resources

Each organism is unique, each has

advantages and disadvantages in the
struggle for existence

Summary (cont.)

Individuals best suited for the environment

survive and reproduce most successful

Species change over time

Summary (cont.)

Species alive today descended with modification

from species that lived in the past

All organisms on earth are united into a single

family tree of life by common descent
