Georges Cuvier, Charles Lyell and Jean Baptiste LaMarck offered their own theories of evolution before Darwin. Briefly explain their theories in the space provided. Scientist Cuvier Lyell LaMarck Theory Catastrophism Uniformitarianism Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics Summary Contribution to science… 19. Explain Darwin’s use of the phrase descent with modification to describe the process of evolution. 20. Name and explain the four parts to Darwin’s theory of natural selection. Use examples. Four parts Explained 1 2 3 4 21. Compare an adaptation to acclimatization. 22. In the sedimentary rock pictured here, can we determine these fossils relative age or absolute age? Compare the ages of fossils 1 and 3. Which fossil is the oldest? ______ How do you know? 23. Identify 3 inferences about evolution that can be supported by fossil evidence. 1) 2) 3) 24. Compare the concepts of homologous structures, analogous structures, and vestigial organs using examples. Structure Homologous Examples Is evidence of evolution because… Analogous Vestigial 25. How do biological molecules provide evidence of a common ancestor? 26. Explain how the anole lizard species on the Caribbean Islands demonstrate both convergent and divergent evolution. Convergent Divergent 27. Use the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast natural selection and artificial selection. 28. How have humans and disease-causing bacteria demonstrated coevolution?
