Table of Contents Aim: What makes a Scientific theory credible? HW: Preview 190-200 NB 74 Do Now: When someone tells you a story, how do you know whether to believe them or not? Ideas About Evolution 1 Hypothesis of Acquired Characteristics • In 1809, Jean Baptiste de Lamarck suggested that characteristics, or traits, developed during a parent organism’s lifetime are inherited by its offspring. • His hypothesis is called the “inheritance of acquired characteristics”. Ideas About Evolution 1 Hypothesis of Acquired Characteristics • According to this theory individual changes made, would be passed on. • Ex: exercise-muscular body • Exposure to sun- Darker color skin Lamark’s Theory did not have evidence! Charles Darwin http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/tdc02.sci.life.evo.lp_darwin/charles-darwin/ Video: Who was Charles Darwin 1. What characteristics made Darwin especially well suited for science? 2. What did Darwin see and do on his five-year voyage aboard the Beagle? 3. Why was the publication of On the Origin of Species a courageous act? Letters from Darwin Questions to consider: What kinds of questions was Darwin trying to answer? What observations did he make? What follow-up questions would you ask on these topics? How did he use the evidence he collected to form hypotheses? How did he use this evidence and much more to create a theory about evolution? How was Darwin's scientific process similar to and different from that used by scientists today (e.g., Cameron Currie)? More to consider: Explain and discuss the reasons why Darwin was so persistent in his efforts to test plant seeds of various types for viability after soaking them in fresh and salt water for long periods of time? What evidence do these letters reveal about the way Darwin proposed and then tested hypotheses critical to his developing theory? There are many different definitions of "the scientific method" -- most of which are too cut-and-dried for general consumption to be of much real value. Consider the following statement about the scientific method, and discuss whether it seems to apply to Darwin's strategy as expressed in these letters: "The process of science making is narrative. It consists of spinning hypotheses about nature, testing them, correcting hypotheses, and getting one's head straight. En route to producing testable hypotheses, we play with ideas, try to create anomalies, try to find neat puzzle forms that we can apply ... . Our instruction in science from start to finish should be mindful of the lively process of science making, rather than being an account only of "finished science" as represented in a textbook." Bruner, Jerome. 1996. The Culture of Education, Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. p. 127. Ideas About Evolution 1 Early Models of Evolution • Change in inherited characteristics over time is evolution. Science Probe What are different types of adaptations that help an animal survive? • HW: NB 74 (skim 190-197) • Do now: Think of an animal and what is special about it that helps it survive. • You may use books to help you Adaptations • -A variations about an organism that helps it survive • 3 main types – body parts, body coverings and behavior • Species to survive: food/nutrients, reproduce, defense, shelter, water Body Parts • How might these adaptations help? • webbed feet, -swim, walk on slippery lsurface • sharp claws,defense, climing, feeding, running • whiskers,-sensors “HEAR or SEE” • sharp teeth, defend and feed • large beaks, open food, store food, feed young • wings,- fly- defense, migrate, get food What behaviors might be considered an adaptation? Body Coverings • • • • Hair Stripes/spots Bright colored feathers Scales/plated body Ideas About Evolution 1 Aim : What evidence did Darwin have to support his theory? • HW: NB 75. Ideas About Evolution 1 Darwin’s Observations • Darwin observed 13 species of finches on the Galápagos Islands. • He noticed that all 13 species were similar, except for differences in body size, beak shape, and eating habits. • He also noticed that all the Galápagos finch species were similar to one finch he had seen on the South American coast. Ideas About Evolution 1 Darwin’s Observations • Darwin reasoned that the Galápagos finches must have had to compete for food. • Finches with beak shapes that allowed them to eat available food survived longer and produced more offspring than finches without those beak shapes. • After many generations, these groups of finches became separate species. • • • • • • Hibernation Migration Raising young Finding food Communication hide Ideas About Evolution 1 Darwin’s Theory • Darwin’s ideas became known as the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. • Natural selection means that organisms with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. “survival of the fittest” Industrial Revolution Peppered Moth Simulation http://www.techapps.net/interactives/pepperMoths.swf Adaptations for Hunters Black White Newspaper Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Trail 4 Average 1.Which color was easiest to find? 2.How would this effect the survival rate of this “species”. Why? What does variation and adaptations have to do with a species survival? • HW RD Notebook 76 Ideas About Evolution 1 Variation and Adaptation • A variation is an inherited trait that makes an individual different from other members of its species. • Variations result from permanent changes, or mutations, in an organism’s genes. Ideas About Evolution 1 Variation and Adaptation • If individuals with these variations continue to survive and reproduce over many generations, a new species can evolve. Ideas About Evolution 1 Variation and Adaptation • An adaptation is any variation that makes an organism better suited to its environment. • Camouflage is an adaptation. Ideas About Evolution 1 Changes in the Sources of Genes • Over time, the genetic makeup of a species might change its appearance. • Many kinds of environmental factors help bring about changes. Ideas About Evolution 1 Geographic Isolation A small number of individuals are isolated from the rest of the population • Gene mutations can occur that add variations to populations. Over time, the two populations can become so different that they no longer can breed with each other. Ideas About Evolution 1 Gradualism • The model that describes evolution as a slow, (100’s of millions of years) ongoing process by which one species changes to a new species is known as gradualism. Ideas About Evolution 1 Punctuated Equilibrium • According to the punctuated equilibrium model, rapid evolution comes about when the mutation of a few genes results in the appearance of a new species over a relatively short period of time. Try This • 1.On a piece of paper write the word “TRAIN”. • 2.Add, subtract or change one letter to make a new word. • 3.Repeat step 2 with the new word. • 4. Repeat 3 more times • Make a family tree- that shows how your first word changed over time. Clues About Evolution 2 Aim: What evidence is there to support the theory of evolution? • Do Now: What is a fossil? Clues About Evolution 2 Types of Fossils • Most of the evidence for evolution comes from fossils. • A fossil is the remains, an imprint, or a trace of a prehistoric organism. • Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. Clues About Evolution 2 Types of Fossils • The fossil record provides evidence that living things have evolved. Clues About Evolution 2 Relative Dating • Generally; younger rock layers are deposited on top of older rock layers. • Relative dating provides only an estimate of a fossil’s age. Clues About Evolution 2 Fossils and Evolution • By looking at fossils, scientists conclude that many simpler forms of life existed earlier in Earth’s history, and more complex forms of life appeared later. • Fossil activity How Scientists use fossils to develop theories? • What is a homologous structure? • -Similar structure in different species • What is a vestigial structure? Give an example. A structure that doesn’t seem to have a function anymore • Tonsils, appendix, wisdom teeth The Evolution of Primates 3 What do all primates have in common? HW #65 TXT Read 206-209 NB p.80 The Evolution of Primates 3 Primates: Humans Monkey and Apes • Having an opposable thumb allows you to cross your thumb over your palm and touch your fingers. • This enables primates to : Grasp, hold things • An opposable thum tree-dwelling prima hold on to branches The Evolution of Primates 3 Other Trait Primates have in common • Binocular vision Let’s you see depth or distance with your eyes. • Flexible shoulders – give a greater range of motion The Evolution of Primates 3 Hominids • About 4 million to 6 million years ago, humanlike primates appeared that were different from other primates. • These ancestors, called hominids, ate both meat and plants and walked upright on two legs. • Hominids shared some characteristics with gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees, but a larger brain separated them from the apes. The Evolution of Primates 3 African Origins • In the early 1920s, a fossil skull was discovered in a quarry in South Africa. The skull had a small space for the brain, but it had a humanlike jaw and teeth. • The fossil, named Australopithecus, was one of the oldest hominids discovered. The Evolution of Primates 3 African Origins • An almost-complete skeleton of Australopithecus was found in northern Africa in 1974. • This hominid fossil was called Lucy and had a small brain but is thought to have walked upright. • This fossil indicates that modern hominids might have evolved from similar ancestors. The Evolution of Primates 3 Early Humans • In the 1960s in a region of Africa, a hominid fossil, which was more like present-day humans than Australopithecus, was discovered. The Evolution of Primates 3 Early Humans • The hominid was named Homo habilis, meaning “hand man.” because simple stone tools were found near him. • Homo habilis is estimated to be 1.5 million to 2 million years old. The Evolution of Primates 3 Early Humans • Based upon many fossil comparisons, scientists have suggested that Homo habilis gave rise to another species, Homo erectus, about 1.6 million years ago. • This hominid had a larger brain than Homo habilis. • Homo erectus traveled from Africa to Southeast Asia, China, and possibly Europe. The Evolution of Primates 3 Early Humans • Homo habilis and Homo erectus are thought to be ancestors of humans because they had larger brains and more humanlike features than Australopithecus. The Evolution of Primates 3 Aim: How did humans evolve? • .Do Now: How does this fossil differ from a modern human skull? The fossil record indicates that Homo sapiens evolved about 400,000 years ago • By about 125,000 years ago, two early human groups, – Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon humans, probably lived at the same time in parts of Africa and Europe.

The Evolution of Primates 3 Cro-Magnon Humans • 1.6 m to 1.7 m tall, the physical appearance of Cro-Magnon people was almost the same as that of modern humans. • They lived in caves, made stone carvings, and buried their dead. The Evolution of Primates 3 Cro-Magnon Humans • The oldest recorded art has been found on the walls of caves in France, where CroMagnon humans first painted bison, horses, and people carrying spears.
