This refers to natural classification:How organisms are grouped together in natureIdentifying unknown organisms, using ID keyHow organisms related evolutionarily (DNA evidence for current species; anatomical for fossils b/c no DNA)Predicting characteristics similar to those found in related organisms
What is the value of classifying organisms?

•Analogous Same function but not necessarily same structure Not derived from common ancestor Wings: pterosaurs, birds, insects, bats Not in same clade of “flight”; must consider many other differences Fins: dolphin, shark (mammal vs fish)
•Homologous From same part of Common ancestor Pentadactyl limb (human, bat, whale)—same general format Eyes (molluscs to birds)
Distinguish, with examples, between analogous characteristics & homologous characteristics.

ProtobiontsMicrospheres: tiny bubbles made by joined amino acids Could enclose other molecsCoacervates: lipids in water (hydrophobic forces), Selectively permeable
Shows how true cell membranes could have evolved
What structures may have been the precursors to living cells?

Bigger brain = need more energyMore food in diet or energy & protein-rich food (more meat in diet)
Hunting tools, social groups
Better diet feeds bigger brain
Bigger brain then allows tool development, hunting techniques, etc.Further skills...cooking food easier to digest, less energy requiredHowever, Neanderthals had larger brains than us
Discuss the correlation between the change in diet and increase in brain size during hominid evolution.

•Convergent Not a recent common ancestor 2 species or characteristics look similar Australia & N America: marsupials vs placentals Wings (bat, bird); bioluminescence (bacteria, fungi)
•Divergent Recent common ancestor Less similar over time
Compare convergent evolution, divergent evolution
