Name:________________________________________ Period: ____ Date:____________________ The Road to the Theory of Evolution We have briefly discussed in class how science is a process, constantly using prior knowledge and experiments to gain further knowledge. We have established it as one of characteristics shared by all living things. Over the next two weeks, we will discuss how the Evolutionary Theory is no exception to this theme. Charles Darwin did not come up with the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection by without some help; he used other scientist’s thoughts to help shape his theory. You will be working in groups to look at how the evolutionary theory came to be. Your group will be assigned a scientist, and you will complete the questions below using the website: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/evothought.html . Once everyone is finished, we will be able to piece together a timeline of the evolutionary theory. 1. Name of scientist(s) - _______________________________________________________________ 2. Which of the following best describes your scientist’s area of study? Geologist Biologist Other: ______________________ 3. Discuss the timeframe of their research, and publication of their ideas/findings (Dates, years prior to Darwin, etc.): 4. What were the main ideas and findings of this particular scientist? 5.
