What is gradualism and punctuated evolution? Agenda for Monday Nov 15th 1. Finish Fossil Lab 2. Theories of Evolution Notes: Lamarck 1. Lamarck’s Giraffes Theories of Evolution • Evolution – change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms over time • 2 Main contributors – Lamarck and Darwin Jean Baptiste de Lamarck • Proposed similar species descended from a common ancestor • Living species were descended from similar extinct species Lamarck • Use and disuse of organs – developing/changing structure and function of old organs • Inheritance of acquired traits – Acquired trait – a trait that arises during the lifetime of an organism – acquired traits were passed on to the organism's offspring Lamarck • Organisms acquire traits and then pass these traits on to their offspring Lamarck Right and Wrong Incorrect • Not all traits acquired get passed on Important • Introduced Evolution/change • Realized organisms are changing What was Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution? Agenda for Tuesday Nov 16th 1. Theories of Evolution: Darwin 1. Lamarck’s Giraffes 2. Darwin’s Postulates Darwin Darwin • Quit Medical School and became a naturalist • H.M.S. Beagle – 5 year journey to survey • Wrote The Origin of Species Charles Lyell • Wrote Principle of Geology • Uniformitarianism • Darwin – Habitats change slowly = requires organisms to adapt to these changes in order to survive Galapagos Islands • Darwin landed in the Galapagos Islands and noticed differences in animal species • Drew and made observations while in the Galapagos • Back in England he looked at his findings – Tortoises and Finches Galapagos Islands • Finches – collected 13 similar but separate species of finches – Each had a distinct bill (beak) • Finches implied a shared recent common ancestor – Adapting to different environments • Darwin reasoned over millions of years = many large differences Darwin’s Theory • Natural selection – organisms best suited for their environment reproduce more successfully than other organisms • Over several generations organisms with favorable traits increase Darwin’s Theories Descent with Modification • Newer forms in the fossil record are modified forms of older species • All species descended from one or a few original types of life Darwin’s Theories Modification by Natural Selection • Influenced by Thomas Malthus – Populations have the potential of doubling and redoubling their numbers – Human pop. have been limited by war, disease, etc. – Darwin noted most pop. have limited growth Modification by Natural Selection • Env’t affect individual organisms in different ways – natural selection • Adaption – traits that enhance the survival and reproductive success – Resulting change in the genetic makeup of a population is evolution 2 types of Adaptations • Camouflage and mimicry Modification by Natural Selection • An organism’s genetic contribution to the next generation is fitness – Greater fitness = better adapted to env’t = reproduces more successfully • Favorable traits give organisms an adaptive advantage • Environment “selects” traits – Favorable traits depend on demands of env’t Postulate 1 • Postulate 1 – Variation within a population Postulate 2 • Traits are inherited/passed on Postulate 3 • More offspring are produced than can survive Postulate 4 • Individuals with advantages traits survive Summary of Darwin • Inherit traits • Natural Selection – organisms best suited/best adapted to the environment survive and reproduce – Adaptations What is Natural Selection?
