Initial Time Line Assignment
• Earth was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago.

LaMarck• Organisms adapted to
their environments by acquiring traits– change in their life time
• Disuseorganisms lost parts because they did not use them — like the missing eyes & digestive system of the tapeworm
• Perfection with Use & Needthe constant use of an organ leads that organ to increase in size — like the muscles of a blacksmith or the large ears of a night-flying bat
– transmit acquired characteristics to next generation

Charles Darwin• 1809-1882• British naturalist• Proposed the idea of
evolution by natural selection
• Collected clear evidence to support his ideas

Robert Fitzroy
Voyage of the HMS Beagle• Invited to travel around the world– 1831-1836 (22 years old!)– makes many observations of nature
• main mission of the Beagle was to chart South American coastline
![Page 9: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Darwin did NOT challenge the existence of a divine creator
• He thought the divine creator was present and “expressing himself”

Voyage of the HMS Beagle• Stopped in Galapagos Islands– 500 miles off coast of Ecuador
![Page 11: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What did he do with his down time?
• Read Charles Lyell. Contemplated the theory of animals and plants in flux as continents change.
• Studied the plants and animals of different areas. Saw related but distinct life on islands.

Armadillos are native to the Americas, with most species found in South America.
Glyptodont fossils are also unique to South America.
Succession of types
Why should extinct armadillo-like species& living armadillos be found on the samecontinent?

“This wonderful relationship in the same continent between the dead and the living will…throw more light on the appearance of organic beings on our earth, and their disappearance from it, than any other class of facts.”

Finch? Sparrow?
Woodpecker? Warbler?
Darwin found… birds
Finch? Sparrow?
Woodpecker? Warbler?
Collected many different birds on the Galapagos Islands.
Thought he found very different kinds…
![Page 16: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Darwin was amazed to find out: All 14 species of birds were finches…
Finch? Sparrow?
Woodpecker? Warbler?
But Darwin found… a lot of finches
Large Ground Finch
Small Ground Finch
Warbler Finch Veg. Tree Finch
But there is only one species of finch on the mainland!
How didone species of finches becomeso many differentspecies now?

Darwin’s finches• Differences in beaks – associated with eating different foods– survival & reproduction of beneficial adaptations
to foods available on islands
![Page 20: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Darwin’s finches• Darwin’s conclusions – small populations of original South American finches
landed on islands• variation in beaks enabled individuals to gather food
successfully in the different environments– over many generations, the populations of finches
changed anatomically & behaviorally• accumulation of advantageous traits in population• emergence of different species
![Page 21: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Seeing this gradation & diversity of structure in one small, intimately related group of birds, one might really fancy that from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species has been taken & modified for different ends.
![Page 22: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Differences in beaks allowed some finches to…– successfully compete – successfully feed– successfully
reproduce• pass successful traits
onto their offspring

Correlation of species to food source
Whoa,Turtles, too!
More observations…
![Page 24: Evolution by Natural Selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816352550346895dd3f1cc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Many islands also show distinct local variations in tortoise morphology…
…perhaps these are the first steps in the splitting of one speciesinto several?

This is not just a process of the past…
It is all around us today
