Concepts and Skills
The student will be able to:
1. review what is meant by a scientific theory.
2. understand criteria required for evolution to occur
3. explain natural selection & how populations change over
time.
4. understand the types of evidence that support the theory of
evolution (anatomical, biochemical, biogeographical, fossil
record, etc.)
5. understand mechanisms for evolution (geographical &
reproductive barriers, speciation, divergent & convergent
evolution, etc.)
6. understand that biological classifications are based on how
organisms are related.
7. know that organisms are classified in a system based on
similarities reflected in their evolutionary relations & that
species is the most fundamental classification.
8. know how similarities in classification are related to the
changes in organisms over time (e.g. cladistics).
9. understand how behaviors evolved through natural selection.
10. understand that learned & innate behavior patterns & relate
them to the survival of organisms.
11. understand that external stimuli affect internal changes that
can lead to changes in behavior.
12. understand the connection between behavioral biology and
