What we
know now
that
Darwin
didn’t
More than 99% of all
species that have ever
lived are now extinct.
New species formed to
take their place.
HOW???
Speciation-
What drives this ‘speciation’?
ISOLATING MECHANISMS
• Behavioral• Geographical• Temporal-
For evolution to take
place, something must
upset the genetic
equilibrium of a
population.
Hardy- Weinberg
Principle
The frequency of alleles in a
population will remain
constant unless one or more
factors cause those
frequencies to change.
In other words…
Five conditions required for
equilibrium1.
