Primate Evolution
3
16.1 PrimatesMain Idea Primates share several behavioral &
biological characteristics indicating that they evolved from a common ancestor.
4
16.2 Hominoids to HomininsMain Idea Hominoids evolved into hominins likely
in response to climate changes of the Miocene.
5
16.3 Human AncestryMain Idea Tracing the evolution of the genus Homo
is important if we are to understand humans, the only living species of Homo.

Chapter 17
Organizing Life’s Diversity
Big Idea:Evolution underlies the classification of life’s diversity.
7
17.1 The History of Classification
Main Idea Biologists use a system of classification
to organize information about the diversity of living things.
8
Early Systems of Classification Aristotle’s System (394-322B.C.)

System (1707-1778)

17.1 Key Concepts Aristotle developed the 1st widely accepted
biological classification system
Linnaeus used morphology & behavior to classify plants & animals.
Binomial nomenclature uses Latin genus & specific name to give an organism a scientific name.
Organisms are classified according to a nested hierarchical system
19
17.2 Modern ClassificationMain Idea Classification systems have changed
over time as information has increased.

27
17.2 Key Concepts The definition of species has changed over time.
Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species, evidence for which comes from a variety of studies.
A molecular clock uses comparisons of DNA sequences to estimate phylogeny & rate of evolutionary change.
Cladistic analysis models evolutionary relationships based on sequencing derived characters.
28
17.3 Domains & KingdomsMain Idea The most widely used biological
classification system has 6 kingdoms within 3 domains.
29
30
Grouping Species 3 Domains
Prokaryote versus Eukaryote 6 Kingdoms
31
Domain Eukarya Kingdom Protista
Algae, Protozoans, Euglenoids
Kingdom Fungi
32
Domain Eukarya Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Animalia
33
17.3 Vocabulary Archaea
Eubacteria
Fungus
Protist
34
17.3 Key Concepts Domains Bacteria & Archaea contain prokaryotes.
Organisms are classified at the kingdom level based on cell type, structures, & nutrition.
Domain Eukarya contains 4 kingdoms of eukaryotes.
Because viruses are not living, they are not included in the biological classification system.
