Things to review for the test…
• All vocabulary from Ch. 15, 16
and 17.4
• Darwin’s voyage, Galapagos
observations
• Living organisms and fossils
• Tortoises and differences
• Lamarck’s theory
More things to review…
• Artificial vs. Natural selection
• Darwin’s evidence for
evolution
• Look over diagrams in text
• Review gizmos
• Patterns of evolution
