SET 1A Period: ___ Darwin noticed that many organisms seemed well suited to On the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin observed The species of finches that Charles Darwin found on the Galapagos Islands displayed different structural adaptations. One of the adaptations that Darwin noted was the Based on the adaptations Charles Darwin observed in finches and tortoises in the Galapagos, he wondered James Hutton’s and Charles Lyell’s work suggests that In the 1800s, Charles Lyell emphasized that What did Charles Darwin learn from reading the work of James Hutton and Charles Lyell? The idea that only famine, disease, and war could prevent the endless growth of human populations was presented by Darwin realized that the economist Malthus’s theory of population control In 1850, Charles Darwin published his revolutionary scientific ideas in a work titled Darwin was prompted to publish his theory of evolution by SET 1B past geological events must be explain in terms of processes observable today. somewhat similar species, with traits that suited their particular environments. On The Origin of Species. birds’ different sized beaks. could be generalized to any population of organisms. surviving in the environment they inhabited. Earth is very old. an essay by Wallace on evolution. if species living on different islands had once been members of the same species. Thomas Malthus. Earth is many millions of years old. SET 2A When Charles Darwin returned from the voyage of the ​
Beagle,​
he Charles Darwin’s observation that finches of different species on the Galapagos Islands have many similar physical characteristics supports the hypothesis that these finches When a farmer breeds only his or her best livestock, the process involved is Which statement about the members of a population that live long enough to reproduce is consistent with the theory of natural selection? Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its specific environment According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, the individuals that tend to survive are those that have Modern sea star larvae resemble some primitive vertebrate larvae. This similarity may suggest that primitive vertebrates Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record as The hypothesis that species change over time by natural selection was proposed by Darwin’s theory of evolution suggests that SET 2B descended from a common ancestor. share a common ancestor with sea stars. They are the ones that are best adapted to survive in their environment. Charles Darwin. wrote about his ideas but waited many years to publish them. species change over time. variations best suited to the environment. a detailed record of evolution. artificial selection. fitness.
