Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1. What do you know about evolution? 2. What is evolution? - Gradual change over time 3. What is paleontology? -Study of fossils -Allows for relative dating - “older” or “younger” - depends on layer Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1. What do you know about evolution? 2. What is evolution? 3. What is paleontology? 4. What was Lamarck’s view? - Inheritance of acquired characteristics - Evolution within an organism’s lifetime – “use & disuse” - Examples – Blacksmith, giraffe - Viewed for 150 years as being wrong…but he could be partially right! (epigenetics—inheritance of methylation) 5. What was Darwin’s view? - Environment supplies selective pressure—struggle for existence - REPRODUCTION of the fittest Figure 22.5 The voyage of HMS Beagle England EUROPE NORTH AMERICA ATLANTIC OCEAN PACIFIC OCEAN Galápagos Islands HMS Beagle in port SOUTH AMERICA AUSTRALIA Andes Darwin in 1840, after his return AFRICA Cape of Good Hope Tasmania Cape Horn Tierra del Fuego New Zealand Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1. What do you know about evolution? 2. What is evolution? 3. What is paleontology? 4. What was Lamarck’s view? - Inheritance of acquired characteristics - Evolution within an organism’s lifetime – use & disuse - Examples – Blacksmith, giraffe 5. What was Darwin’s view? - Environment supplies selective pressure—struggle for existence - REPRODUCTION of the fittest - Studied Galapagos finches Figure 22.6 Beak variation in Galápagos finches (a) Cactus eater. The long, sharp beak of the cactus ground finch (Geospiza scandens) helps it tear and eat cactus flowers and pulp. (c) Seed eater. The large ground finch (Geospiza magnirostris) has a large beak adapted for cracking seeds that fall from plants to the ground. (b) Insect eater. The green warbler finch (Certhidea olivacea) uses its narrow, pointed beak to grasp insects. Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1. What do you know about evolution? 2.

What was Lamarck’s view? - Inheritance of acquired characteristics - Evolution within an organism’s lifetime – use & disuse - Examples – Blacksmith, giraffe 5. What was Darwin’s view? - Environment supplies selective pressure—struggle for existence - REPRODUCTION of the fittest - not SOTF - Studied Galapagos finches - 1859 – The Origin of Species – 2 main points - Descent with Modification from common ancestor - Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution Figure 22.7 Descent with modification Sirenia Hyracoidea (Manatees (Hyraxes) and relatives) Elephas Loxodonta Loxodonta cyclotis maximus africana (Africa) (Asia) (Africa) Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1. What do you know about evolution? 2. What is evolution? 3. What is paleontology? 4. What was Lamarck’s view? 5. What was Darwin’s view? 6. Summarizing Darwin’s view - Natural selection = differential reproductive success - Natural selection occurs through interactions between the environment and the variability among individual organisms in a population Figure 22.9 Variation in a population Figure 22.11 Camouflage as an example of evolutionary adaptation (a) A flower mantid in Malaysia (b) A stick mantid in Africa Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1. What do you know about evolution? 2. What is evolution? 3. What is paleontology? 4. What was Lamarck’s view? 5. What was Darwin’s view? 6. Summarizing Darwin’s view - Natural selection is differential reproductive success - Natural selection occurs through interactions between the environment and the variability among individual organisms in a population - The product of natural selection is the adaptation of a population of organisms to their environment 7. What is artificial selection? - Selective breeding to encourage the occurrence of desirable traits Figure 22.10 Artificial selection Terminal bud Lateral buds Brussels sprouts Cabbage Flower cluster Leaves Cauliflower Kale Stem Flower and stems Broccoli Wild mustard Kohlrabi Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1.

What is artificial selection? 8. What is the evidence for evolution? - Homologous structures – similar structures with different functions show signs of evolution from a common ancestor, may be vestigial organs Figure 22.14 Mammalian forelimbs: Homologous structures Human Cat Whale Bat Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1.

What is the evidence for evolution? - Homologous structures – similar structures with different functions show signs of evolution from a common ancestor, may be vestigial organs - Comparative embryology - Pharyngeal gill slits - Post-anal tail Figure 22.15 Anatomical similarities in vertebrate embryos Pharyngeal pouches Post-anal tail Chick embryo Human embryo Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life 1.
