In historical context• Darwin did not originate the idea of evolution!!!

1. English naturalist who proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882)

1. Darwin sailed around the world on the HMS Beagle and carefully studied thousands of different plants and animals

800 km west of mainland
The Galapagos Islands1. Most of animal species on
the Galápagos live nowhere else in world, but they resemble species living on South American mainland.

The Birds…1. Galápagos birds
a) 22 of the 29 species of birds on the Galapagos are endemic - found only on these islands
2. One particular group…a) at first, he paid little note
to a series of small but distinctive birds
b) some were woodpecker- like, some warbler-like, & some finch-like
![Page 15: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Darwin’s finches1. Darwin was amazed to find out they were all
finchesa) 14 speciesb) but only one species on mainland of
South America - 800 km awayc) all presumably originated from mainland
![Page 16: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Correlation of species to food source
Adaptive radiation - divergent evolution in which ancestral species evolve into an array of species to fit a number of diverse habitats.
![Page 17: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Darwin’s finches1. Differences in beaks
a) associated with eating different foodsb) adaptations to foods available on islands
2. Darwin’s conclusionsa) when original South American finches
reached islands, adapted to available food in different environments
b) over many generations, the finches changed anatomically & behaviorally
c) accumulation of favorable traits led to the emergence of different species
![Page 18: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Finches with beak differences allowed them to…a) successfully feedb) successfully competec) successfully
reproduced) pass successful traits
onto their offspring

1. Evolution is the gradual change in a species, or populations over time, not individuals.
2. Darwin was the first scientist to realize that evolution can work by natural selection.
a)Natural Selection – Is a mechanism for change in populations. It occurs when organisms with favorable variations survive, reproduce, and pass their variations to the next generation
i. E.g. Thick fur is a favorable trait in cold environments

Essence of Darwin’s ideas• His theory was simple…
(1)Variation exists in natural populations
(2)Many more offspring are born each season than can possibly survive to maturity
(3) As a result, there is a struggle for existence
(4) Characteristics beneficial in the struggle for existence will tend to become more common in the population, changing the characteristics of a species
(5)Over time, and given a steady input of new variation into a population, these processes lead to the emergence of new species
![Page 24: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Natural Selection1. Darwin referred to all of these factors together
as natural selection:a) Variationb) production of more offspring than can survivec) Competition
i. for food, for mates & nesting spots, to escape predators
d) differential survival based on traits
![Page 25: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Variation in Populations1. Evolution by natural selection happens in
populations, not individuals. A single organism cannot evolve. Populations evolve.
2. Populations evolve because there is variation
3. Variation causes some organisms to be better fit than others. Better fit organisms are more likely to survive and pass their genes to the next generation

Peppered moth• Why did the population change?
◆ early 1800s = pre-industrial England
• low pollution• lichen growing on trees = light
colored bark◆ late 1800s = industrial England
• factories = soot coated trees• killed lichen = dark colored bark
◆ mid 1900s = pollution controls• clean air laws• return of lichen = light colored bark
◆ industrial melanism

Natural selection in action1. Insecticide & drug
resistancea) insecticide didn’t kill
all individualsb) resistant survivors
reproducec) resistance is
inheritedd) insecticide becomes
less & less effective

Evidence #3 - Comparative Anatomy
1. Homologous structures: Body structures on different organisms that are similar in structure (same bones) and DID evolve from a common ancestor
![Page 55: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Comparative Anatomy2. Analogous structures: Body
structures on different organisms that are similar in function but DID NOT evolve from the same ancestor (bird wing and butterfly wing)
![Page 57: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Comparative Anatomy3. Vestigial structure: body structure
in an organism that no longer serves its original purpose but was useful to an ancestor (useless wings on the African ostrich)
![Page 59: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Evidence #4 - Embryological Development1. Early in development, human embryos and
embryos of all other vertebrates are very similar, which suggests that all vertebrates are related
![Page 65: Evolution by Natura l Selection](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051021/56816643550346895dd9b9a6/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Evidence #5 - DNA Similarities1. Nearly all organisms have DNA, ATP,
and many of the same enzymes2. The DNA (genes) of closely related
organisms looks very similar
