What were the events and observations that influenced Charles Darwin in his work?
What was Darwin’s famous theory?
How does natural selection work? Explain the steps and have specific examples of natural selection in action.
What are mutations? How do mutations occur? What other source of genetic diversity contributes to
evolutionary change?
How does modern, molecular biology support Darwin’s theories? Be specific.
What are behavioral and structural adaptations? Give examples.
How are most fossils formed (describe the process).
How are fossils dated?
How do fossils help to show evidence of change over time?
How do fossils show evidence of relationships between different species, living or extinct?
Why are there gaps in the fossil record?
How can anatomy and/or behavior of living organisms show evolutionary relationships?
How can a molecular clock be used to show how long ago ancestors lived?
How are humans similar to and different from other primates, and what is the current scientific theory on the
evolution of modern humans?
