Name ____________________________________ Date ____________ Period _____ Evidence for Evolution by Natural Selection Raven Ch. 22 Big Idea 1: THE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION DRIVES THE DIVERSITY AND UNITY OF LIFE. It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. ― Charles Darwin (1859) Essential Knowledge: Natural selection is a major mechanism of evolution Natural selection acts on phenotypic variations within populations. Evolutionary change is also driven by random processes. Biological evolution is supported by scientific evidence from many disciplines including mathematics Organisms share many conserved core processes and features that evolved and are widely distributed among organisms today. Phylogenetic trees and cladograms are graphical representations (models) of evolutionary history that can be tested Speciation and extinction have occurred throughout the Earth’s history. Speciation may occur when two populations become reproductively isolated from each other. Populations of organisms continue to evolve. There are several hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth, each with supporting scientific evidence. Scientific evidence from many different disciplines supports models of the origin of life. Natural selection is a major mechanism of evolution What are the 4 lines of evidence that support Darwin’s ideas?… 1. Fossil Record Transitional Fossils Evolution of ____________________ _________________________-, the earliest known flying bird from the Late Jurassic period, exhibits many shared primitive characters with therapod (bird-like) dinosaurs. such as teeth, a long bony tail and pinnate feathers. However, Archaeopteryx possessed asymmetrical flight feathers on its wings and tail, together with a wing feather arrangement shared with modern birds. This suggests some degree of powered flight capability but, until now, little was understood about the extent to which its brain and special senses were adapted for flight. o lived about 150 mya o links __________________________________ 1 Evolution of _____________________ 2006 Fossil Discovery of Early Tetrapod “________________________________” “______________________” from sea to land animals from ____________________ (0 legs) to __________________ (4 legs) Evolution of _______________ ___________ Whales as land creatures returning to the __________ 4-5 intermediate forms all found in last 2 decades Notes on video: ______________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ 2.
