EVOLUTION WORKSHEET
1. What are two incorrect ideas about Evolution that prevailed in previous centuries?
-species are perfect and immutable
2. What is natural theology and what impact does it have on the study of nature?
- “for each species- a special purpose” and therefore a special form
- To study nature was believed to unravel the creator’s design
3. Who was Linnaeus? What system did he develop?
-he was the “father of taxonomy”
-created and used the binomial naming system (eg: genus species) and the hierarchical scheme
(species-genus-family)
-“God creates, Linneaus arranges”
4. Modern taxonomy was derived directly from the work of Linnaeus. Originally its goal was to express
God’s order. Today it expresses phylogenetic or evolutionary relationships.
5. Complete the following chart:
Person
Cuvier
Hutton
Name of Scientific Concept
Definition of Scientific Concept
Catostrophism
The history of Earth was
punctuated with catastrophes that
destroyed many species
Gradualism
He argued that species DID
become extinct, but they did not
evolve.
Geologic change occurred slowly,
but continuously.
The accumulation of gradual
changes appeared to be sudden
occurrences.
Lyell
Lamarck
Uniformitarianism
Inheritance of Acquired
Characteristics
Organisms evolve: change
through time, toward greater
complexity.
“use and disuse”
His process was right, but the
mechanism was wrong.
Population growth geometric
Growth of food arithmetic
Independently formulated
theory of evolution
driven by
natural selection
Malthus
Wallace
Darwin
Theory of
Evolution Driven by
Natural Selection
