modern organisms have descended from ancient
organisms.
• A scientific theory is a well-supported testable explanation
of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world.

 Darwin collected fossils.
 Some of those fossils resembled organisms that were
still alive today.
Living Organisms and Fossils

18. Fossils

19. The Galapagos Island
• The smallest, lowest islands were hot, dry, and nearly
barren-Hood Island-sparse vegetation
• The higher islands had greater rainfall and a different
assortment of plants and animals-Isabela- Island had
rich vegetation.
• Darwin was fascinated in particular by the land
tortoises and marine iguanas in the Galápagos.
• Giant tortoises varied in predictable ways from one
island to another.
• The shape of a tortoise's shell could be used to identify
which island a particular tortoise inhabited.

earth’s surface
shape
•Changes are slow
•Earth much older
than thousands of
years

22. Evolution by Natural Selection
• The Struggle for Existence-members of each species have to
compete for food, shelter, other life necessities
• Survival of the Fittest-Some individuals better suited for the
environment
Descent
 Descent with Modification-Each living organism has
descended, with changes from other species over time
 Common Descent- were derived from common ancestors
