A new era of biology began in 1859 when Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species
The Origin of Species focused biologists’ attention on the great diversity of organisms

Darwin noted that current species are descendants of ancestral species
Evolution can be defined by Darwin’s phrase descent with modification
Evolution can be viewed as both a pattern and a process

• To understand why Darwin’s ideas were revolutionary, we must examine them in relation to other Western ideas about Earth and its life

The Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed species as fixed and arranged them on a scala naturae
The Old Testament holds that species were individually designed by God and therefore perfect

• Carolus Linnaeus interpreted organismal adaptations as evidence that the Creator had designed each species for a specific purpose
• Linnaeus was the founder of taxonomy, the branch of biology concerned with classifying organisms

• The study of fossils helped to lay the groundwork for Darwin’s ideas
• Fossils are remains or traces of organisms from the past, usually found in sedimentary rock, which appears in layers or strata

Paleontology, the study of fossils, was largely developed by French scientist Georges Cuvier
Cuvier advocated catastrophism, speculating that each boundary between strata represents a catastrophe

Geologists James Hutton and Charles Lyell perceived that changes in Earth’s surface can result from slow continuous actions still operating today
Lyell’s principle of uniformitarianism states that the mechanisms of change are constant over time
This view strongly influenced Darwin’s thinking

Lamarck hypothesized that species evolve through use and disuse of body parts and the inheritance of acquired characteristics
Like Arnold Schwartzeneger’s son would have been jacked!
The mechanisms he proposed are unsupported by evidence

As the 19th century dawned, it was generally believed that species had remained unchanged since their creation
However, a few doubts about the permanence of species were beginning to arise

As a boy and into adulthood, Charles Darwin had a consuming interest in nature
Darwin first studied medicine (unsuccessfully), and then theology at Cambridge University
After graduating, he took an unpaid position as naturalist and companion to Captain Robert FitzRoy for a 5-year around the world voyage on the Beagle

During his travels on the Beagle, Darwin collected specimens of South American plants and animals
He observed adaptations of plants and animals that inhabited many diverse environments
Darwin was influenced by Lyell’s Principles of Geology and thought that the earth was more than 6000 years old

His interest in geographic distribution of species was kindled by a stop at the Galápagos Islands near the equator west of South America

In reassessing his observations, Darwin perceived adaptation to the environment and the origin of new species as closely related processes
From studies made years after Darwin’s voyage, biologists have concluded that this is indeed what happened to the Galápagos finches

In 1844, Darwin wrote an essay on the origin of species and natural selection but did not introduce his theory publicly, anticipating an uproar
In June 1858, Darwin received a manuscript from Alfred Russell Wallace, who had developed a theory of natural selection similar to Darwin’s
Darwin quickly finished The Origin of Species and published it the next year

Darwin developed two main ideas:Descent with modification explains life’s unity
and diversityNatural selection is a cause of adaptive evolution

Darwin never used the word evolution in the first edition of The Origin of Species
The phrase descent with modification summarized Darwin’s perception of the unity of life
The phrase refers to the view that all organisms are related through descent from an ancestor that lived in the remote past

In the Darwinian view, the history of life is like a tree with branches representing life’s diversity
Darwin’s theory meshed well with the hierarchy of Linnaeus

Darwin noted that humans have modified other species by selecting and breeding individuals with desired traits, a process called artificial selection
Darwin then described four observations of nature and from these drew two inferences

Inference #1: Individuals whose inherited traits give them a higher probability of surviving and reproducing in a given environment tend to leave more offspring than other individuals

Inference #2: This unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce will lead to the accumulation of favorable traits in the population over generations

Darwin was influenced by Thomas Malthus who noted the potential for human population to increase faster than food supplies and other resources
If some heritable traits are advantageous, these will accumulate in the population, and this will increase the frequency of individuals with adaptations
This process explains the match between organisms and their environment

Individuals with certain heritable characteristics survive and reproduce at a higher rate than other individuals
Natural selection increases the adaptation of organisms to their environment over time
If an environment changes over time, natural selection may result in adaptation to these new conditions and may give rise to new species

Note that individuals do not evolve; populations evolve over time
Natural selection can only increase or decrease heritable traits in a population
Adaptations vary with different environments

John Endler has studied the effects of predators on wild guppy populations
Brightly colored males are more attractive to females
However, brightly colored males are more vulnerable to predation
Guppy populations in pools with fewer predators had more brightly colored males

Endler transferred brightly colored guppies (with few predators) to a pool with many predators
As predicted, over time the population became less brightly colored
Endler also transferred drab colored guppies (with many predators) to a pool with few predators

The use of drugs to combat HIV selects for viruses resistant to these drugs
HIV uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to make a DNA version of its own RNA genome
The drug 3TC is designed to interfere and cause errors in the manufacture of DNA from the virus

Some individual HIV viruses have a variation that allows them to produce DNA without errors
These viruses have a greater reproductive success and increase in number relative to the susceptible viruses
The population of HIV viruses has therefore developed resistance to 3TC
The ability of bacteria and viruses to evolve rapidly poses a challenge to our society

Convergent evolution is the evolution of similar, or analogous, features in distantly related groups
Analogous traits arise when groups independently adapt to similar environments in similar ways

Earth’s continents were formerly united in a single large continent called Pangaea, but have since separated by continental drift

Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection integrates diverse areas of biological study and stimulates many new research questions
