ReviewReview• What is a hypothesis?• A possible explanation or answer to a question• What is a theory?• A unifying explanation for a broad range of
hypotheses and observations that have been supported by explanation
• What is a law?• Theories that are proven time and time again

What is Evolution?What is Evolution?
• Evolution is a widely accepted theory.
• It is not a law.
• You don’t need to believe anything I say in this chapter.
• However you need to know the information behind the theory to pass you SOL’s next year.

Change over timeChange over time
• These three frogs all look different but live in the same habitat

Differences Among SpeciesDifferences Among Species
• All three frogs have different adaptations that help them survive
• Adaptation– A characteristic that helps an organism
survive and reproduce in its environment
• Can include structures for finding food, for protection and movement

SpeciesSpecies
• Groups of organisms that can mate with one another and produce fertile offspring
• Share same characteristics and adaptations
• Mule vs. horse vs. donkey

Do Species Change Over Time?Do Species Change Over Time?
• Scientist estimate the Earth is 4.6 billion years old
• Did the same animals and plants always live here?

EvolutionEvolution
• Process by which populations accumulate inherited changes over time
• Because of evolution, scientists think all living organisms have a common ancestor

Evidence of EvolutionEvidence of Evolution
• Fossils
• The solidified remains or imprints of once living organisms are found in the layers of the earth’s crust
• Mold – imprint
• Cast – mold filled in with sediment

Vestigial StructuresVestigial Structures
• Remnants of once-useful structures
• Hind limb bones in whales
• Other examples– Wings on flightless birds (ostriches, rheas)– Human tail bone– Erector pilli muscles and body hair– Wisdom teeth

Comparing OrganismsComparing Organisms
• Bones in the human arm and a bat’s arm are similar even though they are used in different ways
• Indicates a common ancestor but the bones have evolved to perform different functions

Comparing DNAComparing DNA
• All living things made from the same genetic material
• The more similar the species (closely related) the more similarities in DNA codes
