First fossils
3.5 billion years ago
stromatolite
can not be first life because they photosynthesized
Life is therefore older than 3.9 billion years

How did life begin?
Current hypothesis
1. Abiotic synthesis of organic molecules
2. Small molecules join to form macromolecules
3. Macromolecules get packaged in membrane
4. Origin of self replicating molecule

Evidence

Protobionts
formed spontaneously in lab

How do we know?
Actual ages of rocks and fossilsradiometric dating
Fossil record documents history of life
![Page 19: Chapter 15: Macroevolution Origin of life Big Bang Early Earth molton atmosphere 1st this with water vapor and volcanic gasses as earth cooled, H 2 O condensed,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea85503460f94bab1cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Radiometric Dating
Isotopes - use half life to determine age
C12/C14 good for young fossils (<25,000 years)
Other isotopes better for older fossils
![Page 20: Chapter 15: Macroevolution Origin of life Big Bang Early Earth molton atmosphere 1st this with water vapor and volcanic gasses as earth cooled, H 2 O condensed,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea85503460f94bab1cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fossil Record
Fossils appear in strata
Earth’s history divided into 3 Eons
Archaeon
Protozeroic
Phanerzoic
![Page 21: Chapter 15: Macroevolution Origin of life Big Bang Early Earth molton atmosphere 1st this with water vapor and volcanic gasses as earth cooled, H 2 O condensed,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea85503460f94bab1cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Phanerzoic eon divided into 3 eras
Paleozoic
Mesozoic
Cenozoic
Boundaries of eras = mass extinctions
Lesser extinctions often mark boundaries of periods

Cambrian Explosion
Suddenly all modern animal phyla appear
Why the sudden appearance?
1. Lots of empty niches
Or 2. Sudden appearance of hard body parts = good fossils

Proposed in 1916, accepted in 1960s
Since origin of eukaryotes, all continents have come together 3 times

Pangea
250 million years ago
Brought species together that had evolved separately
Inland seas drained
Interior of continenet probably extreme
Caused big biological shake up

Break-up of Pangea
180 million years ago (mesozoic)
135 mya First split into north and south
65 mya modern continents take shapeend of mesozoic, beginning of cenozoic
55 mya India ran into Eurasia = Himalayas

puzzles

Mass Extinctions
5 over past 500 million years
50% or more of earth’s species went extinct in each event
End of Permian and Cretaceous get most attention
End of Permian took 96% of marine animals
End of Cretaceous took >50% of marine species and dinosaurs
![Page 34: Chapter 15: Macroevolution Origin of life Big Bang Early Earth molton atmosphere 1st this with water vapor and volcanic gasses as earth cooled, H 2 O condensed,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea85503460f94bab1cd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Causes of mass extinctions
Permian
enormous volcanic eruptions in present day Serbia
lava, ash, CO2 increased T
slowed mixing of ocean between pole and equator = decrease in O2 in water

Consequences of mass extinctions
Loss of whole ecosystems
Changes course of evolution
Recovery takes 5 to 10 million years or longer (100 my after permian)

> 1000 species have gone extinct in the last 400 years
100 to 1000 times normal rate

Evolution is not goal oriented!
Trends don’t mean there is a goal.
Evolution is the result of existing organisms’ genetic diversity and the CURRENT
environment.

Since Darwin, systematics
has expanded to reflect
evolutionary relationships in phylogenetic
trees.

Trees allow us to make and test predictions
The more we know the more accurately we can make and test predictions.

The number of genes does not increase at the same rate as
organismal complexity.
