Warm-up Explain what is going on in this picture in a
short narrative format. Be creative with your story. Include why this species has to change and what you think their next change will be

It is how the EARTH changes over millions of
years!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT GEOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IS , RIGHT???

What THEORY do we follow regarding GEOLOGICAL
EVOLUTION? The THEORY of PLATE TECTONICS!!!!!! You know this! It is that the Earth is
made up of pieces called PLATES. Plates move around the Earth very
slowly on magma, sometimes colliding (converging to form mountains & volcanoes) sometimes diverging (to form wider oceans and hydrothermal vents).

It is how life changes over many thousands of
years!
What about BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION?
![Page 6: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What THEORY do we follow regarding BIOLOGICAL
EVOLUTION?LAMARK had a good theory…
He proposed that living things can acquire (get) new traits throughout their lifetime …
& pass them onto their offspring.
![Page 8: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
While Lamark’s theory fell “short,” it still has some merit in the field of epigenetics.
Some of our genes (DNA instructions) can switch on or off during our lifetimes.
Making it possible for offspring to acquire new “improved” instructions on surviving.

What THEORY do we follow regarding BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION?
DARWIN’s Theory of NATURAL
SELECTION!

HOW does his Theory of Natural Selection work?
IT HAS FOUR (4) PRINCIPLES:1. 2. 3. 4.
![Page 11: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HOW does the Theory of Natural Selection work????
Most living things have more babies than will normally
survive.
This is called:1. OVERPRODUCTION
![Page 12: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Here’s some examples of OVERPRODUCTION:
Snapping turtles can lay 30 to 80 eggs at a time!
You do NOT want to hear Maury say:
“You ARE the FATHER!”
![Page 13: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BUT THAT’S NOTHING!
SOME LARGE SPIDERS LAY UP
TO TWO THOUSAND
EGGS!
![Page 14: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
With all these babies, you are bound to have VARIATIONS (differences). [#2]
SOME BABIES WILL BE BIG, SOME SMALL….
SOME BABIES WILL BE SMART,SOME BABIES WILL BE ATHLETIC.

With too many living things around, things are going to get
rough!
THERE’S LOTS OF COMPETITION!!!
![Page 16: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
With too many living things around, things are going to get rough!
…for status,
THERE’S LOTS OF COMPETITION!!!

With too many living things around, things are going to get rough!
…for space …opportunities,
THERE’S LOTS OF COMPETITION!!!

With too many living things around, things are going to get rough!
…for food!
THERE’S LOTS OF COMPETITION!!!

With too many living things around, things are going to get rough!
…for mates!
THERE’S LOTS OF COMPETITION!!!

With too many living things around, things are going to get rough!
…for LIFE!
THERE’S LOTS OF COMPETITION!!!

In nature, COMPETITION does NOT always favor the mighty.
Sometimes it is the LUCKY or MOST PREPARED who win!
![Page 22: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THIS GOES ON FOR GENERATION AFTER GENERATION AFTER
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION…
AND SO IT GOES, THROUGH NATURAL SELECTION, A SINGLE SPECIES OVERPRODUCES VARIATIONS OF
OFFSPRING (some with mutations) WHO THEN MUST COMPETE TO MAKE MORE BABIES!
![Page 23: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
AFTER HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE A SPECIES CAN EVOLVE INTO ANOTHER NEW,
MORE SUCCESSFUL SPECIEs!!!!!
After MANY THOUSANDS of YEARS, a single species undergoes ADAPTATION (#4) where its entire race takes on fresh
characteristics of the most successful competitors selected of its kind!!!
![Page 24: Natural Selection](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681668e550346895dda5ee2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Key words for the THEORY of NATURAL SELECTION:
1. OVERPRODUCTION (too many babies than will survive)
2. VARIATION (all with different traits plus occasional genetic mutations)
3. COMPETITION (selection of a winner)4. ADAPTATION (over many, MANY
generations these most beneficial traits endure (last)!)

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!
That’s why we call the Theory of Natural Selection…
