Evolution and Natural Selection

how organisms are relatedNatural selection leads to evolutionOur understanding of evolution has
changed over time

Evolution
The theory that organisms today developed from more simple life forms and have changed (evolved) over time

Natural Selection
The theory that states that those organisms best adapted to their environment have a better chance of surviving and reproducing

EvolutionPre-Darwin Beliefs
Earth was only a few thousand years old.
We now know it is billions of years old.Neither the planet nor the species that
inhabited it had changed since the beginning of time.
We now know the planet has changed and, through fossils, discovered organisms have changed, as well.

EvolutionPre-Darwin Beliefs
Jean Pierre Lamark believed that organisms can change their traits during their lifetime by use or disuse.
He thought that these traits are passed on to offspring. Over time this would cause change in a species.
Larmark was
wrong

Charles Darwin1809 - 1882
Scientist credited with the Theory of Evolution & Natural
Selection Voyage of the HMS Beagle – a 5 year voyage to South America and the
South Pacific, collecting specimens, making observations and keeping a scientific journal
of his findings

Voyage of the BeagleWhat did Darwin find?
The finches on each island in the Galapagos had different types of beaks.

Voyage of the BeagleWhat did Darwin find?
The tortoises on each island in the Galapagos had different types of shells.

What was Darwin’s hypothesis?
Darwin hypothesized that organisms had a common ancestor, but had adapted to their particular environments and changed over time.
Darwin published his research in 1859

Natural Selection
For natural selection to occur, there must be at least two varieties of a species.
For example: the peppered moth
![Page 12: Evolution+and+natural+selection pvms](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062419/55895d9ad8b42a5e3f8b4676/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Peppered Moths
At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in England, coal burning produced soot that covered the countryside in many areas

Evolution/Natural Selection
White moths became easier to see, while the black moths became harder to see. The black moths were more likely to survive and pass on the gene for dark color to their offspring.
Over time, the black moths have become more common.

Evidence for Evolution:Common Ancestry
Common Ancestry: If species evolved from a common ancestor, then they should share common anatomical traits
Hawaiian Honeycreeper: family of birds in Hawaii that have similar skeletons and muscles, indicating they are closely related. Over time, their common ancestor evolved into several species, each with a
specialized bill for eating certain foods. Just like Darwin’s finches on the Galapagos!

Evidence for Evolution:
Homologous Structures
If animals evolved from a common ancestor, then they should share common structures – and they do!
These are called homologous structures

Evidence for Evolution:Vestigial Organs
Some organisms have structures or organs that no longer have a useful function.
These structures or organs may have been useful to the ancestors of a species, but over time have evolved into what we term vestigial organs.
![Page 19: Evolution+and+natural+selection pvms](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062419/55895d9ad8b42a5e3f8b4676/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Examples of Vestigial Organs
Kiwi (flightless bird)
Whales (hind leg bones)
Humans (tailbone, appendix)

Evidence for EvolutionFossils
Fossils provide a look into the pastScientists can trace how a species has evolved by studying fossils
