Who was Charles Darwin?
• Father of evolution• Went to the
Galapagos Islands in South America
• Wrote On the Origins of Species when he came back
• Went against religious beliefs
• Suffered from making findings
• 25 years later, people honored and believed his works and theories

Who was Charles Lyell?
• American geologist• Studied how
the Earth changes over the years
• Ex: mountains, river, etc

Who was Thomas Malthus?
• Sociologist, scientist and politician
• Observed why weren’t available resources used up?
• Disease, starvation, and natural disasters, all wiped out a large chunk of the population
• He wanted to know why some people lived and some died
• He believed in survival of the fittest!• Wealthy white males were
the “fittest”

Who was Alfred
Wallace?• British man, did his
research many years after Darwin
• Studied in South America and Asia
• 1858 – send Darwin a manuscript and they both had the same conclusion
• Darwin contacted Wallace• They published
articles separately and together
![Page 6: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What were Darwin’s Two Main Points?
• If non-living things changed over time, why cant living things change too?1. Descent with
Modification – due to the build of mutations over million of years, new organisms form• New species evolved
2. Natural Selection - nature chooses the more desirable traits to pass to their offspring (beneficial mutations)
![Page 7: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is a fossil?
• The remains of a previously existing creature from many years ago
![Page 8: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is a fossil record?
• Time line of when organisms existed in relation to other organisms• 2 ways to determine how old
something is:1. Relative dating – “this is
older/younger than that” based on position without a timeframe
2. Absolute dating/carbon dating – directs to a specific time period more than relative dating does
• Half life – the amount of time it takes for half an element to break down and disappear
• Ex: carbon’s half life is 5730
![Page 9: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What does extinct mean?
• When the last of the species dies and the living things in non existent
![Page 10: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What are Homologous Structures?
• Look the same but do different things
• Ex: cat’s front and human’s hand
• This suggests a common ancestor branching off to different species
![Page 11: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What are Analogous Structures
• Look different but do the same thing (opposite of homologous pairs)
• Ex: birds, butterflies, and bats all have wings but don’t look alike
• This does not a common ancestor but have a similar path
![Page 12: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is Vestigial
Structures?• Structure in the
body that has been used once in the past but is no longer being used in current time
• Ex: appendix, eye brows and tail bone in humans
![Page 13: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is variation?
• The differences within 1 type in natural or excepted differences
• Ex: size and height
![Page 14: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is Natural vs. Artificial Selection?• Nature selects more
desirable vs. selection in organisms to help or not help living things
• Ex: Teacup poodles• Bulldogs born by C-
section
![Page 15: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What are Pesticides and Antibiotics?
• Natural selection in action• Overuse in antibiotics will
cause medications to stop working• Organisms that adapt them
are called natural variation• Bacteria changes when in
different environments and has natural variation
• Pesticides are similar to bacteria• Farmers put them on their
crops – some bugs live and some will die
![Page 16: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are speciation?• Decent with
medication – when new species from because of mutations
![Page 17: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is geographic isolation?
• A weakness to evolve or be created
• Setting makes it harder to produce offspring
• Can be a form of reproductive isolation
![Page 18: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is reproductive isolation?
• Two individuals not having a similar reproductive cycle
• Able to breed but decide not to
• Ex: skunks
![Page 19: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is a genetic drift?
• The undertaking or alteration in genes from each generation
• Ex: Swedish people mainly have blue eyes
• If a brown eye was added to the population, the eye colors would shift
![Page 20: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is a bottleneck?• When a disease
or natural disaster happens• Usually wipes out
a large amount of the population
• Makes a smaller gene pool
• Genes are lost forever
• Ex: Beads in a bottle – stuck at the bottom
![Page 21: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What is the founder effect?
• The people that are give will be the only ones to give genes to their future offspring
![Page 22: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is adaptive
radiation?• Life will always
be found even in the most extreme areas
• If something can live, something will live
• Ex: Hawaii/ albatross bird
• Nature wants to fill – hates a vacuum
![Page 23: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is a cost-benefit
analysis?• Measuring pros
and cons to figure out the next step in action
• Ex: Going to a party – getting grounded or being popular?
![Page 24: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is a gene pool?
• All of the genes in the entire population
![Page 25: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is gradualism?• Gradually,
mutations and changes will happen and organisms will evolve at a slow pace
![Page 26: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What is punctuated equilibrium?
• The theory that organisms stay the same for a long time, then changes for a short about of time due to the environment
• Organisms quickly change and then remain the same for a long time (repeats the process)
• Ends when gradualism is reached
![Page 27: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What is co-evolution?
• Many species that evolve together – change over time
• Ex: Hummingbird and flower makes nectar – the longer the flower gets the longer the beak gets
![Page 28: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What is parallel
evolution?• Organisms the
evolve on a pathway that is parallel but don’t have to have a common ancestor
• Ex: Fish and whale – similar body that is able to move through water but they aren’t related (evolved in a similar way)
![Page 29: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What is divergent evolution?
• Organisms that have a similar ancestor and evolve together at a certain point • They branch and
develop• Split in different
directions
![Page 30: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What is convergent evolution?
• Very similar to parallel evolution
• Organisms develop on separate paths• Through mutations
now have a common ancestor
• Converged
![Page 31: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What were the first organisms
on Earth?• They were anaerobic –
didn't’t need oxygen• Able to make their
own food – autotrophs• Gave off oxygen for
millions of years• They became more
complex, Multicellular, and then were able to breath oxygen
![Page 32: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is the Endosymbiotic theory?• Hypothesis• Mitochondria and
chloroplasts were once free-living
• They combined with a simple cell and were helped from the relationship
• Mutualistic relationship over time became dependent • Able to use each other to
survive
![Page 33: Evolution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165d7550346895dd8e644/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Who was Miller and
Urey?• Theory of life
• Miller’s flask• Made
experiments and concluded that the surroundings in the atmosphere, it was likely to create “the building blocks of live”• Primordial soup
