The document provides a history of evolutionary thought. It discusses key figures and ideas that contributed to the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection, including:
1) Before 1850, most people believed that species were unchanging and each was created for its environment. Charles Darwin began to doubt this after observing variation between organisms on his voyage.
2) Darwin was influenced by James Hutton and Charles Lyell's findings that the earth changes slowly over time, and by Georges Cuvier's discovery that species can go extinct.
3) Alfred Russell Wallace independently conceived of natural selection. Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 introducing his theory of evolution by natural selection.

Evolution notes part 1
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection after traveling around the world on the HMS Beagle and observing organisms on the Galapagos Islands. His theory proposed that organisms evolve over generations through natural selection, where individuals with traits best suited for their environment survive and reproduce, passing on those favorable traits. Examples like the Galapagos finches and tortoises showed how isolated populations on the islands evolved different traits adapted to the local environment over time. The key factors in natural selection are overproduction of offspring, genetic variation between individuals, competition for limited resources, and the selection of individuals with traits better suited for the environment to reproduce and pass on their genes.
Charles Darwin Lesson
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed that over generations, animal traits gradually change through a process where individuals with traits better suited to the environment tend to survive and reproduce more. Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" introduced the scientific theory that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through this process of natural selection. The document provides background on Darwin and examples of how giraffes, horses, and peppered moths evolved over time to develop traits better suited to their environments.
02 classifying species
This document discusses biodiversity and the classification of species. It explores where life can be found on Earth and estimates there are over 1.7 million classified species but up to 15 million total species. The document examines three main ways species can be classified - biologically based on ability to breed, morphologically based on physical features, and phylogenetically based on evolutionary history. It provides examples of interspecies interactions like food chains, symbiotic relationships, and ecosystems reliance on biodiversity.
Evolutionary ideas
Darwin developed his theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations made during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. He noticed that species varied between locations and over time, with fossils showing ancient species resembling modern ones. This led him to hypothesize that all species descended with modification from common ancestors over many generations, with natural selection driving changes by favoring heritable traits that increased survival.

It begins by listing learning objectives for the lab that cover how predation and reproduction impact evolutionary fitness. The document then defines evolution as change over time and provides examples of evidence. It discusses factors necessary for natural selection, Darwin's theory, and examples of adaptation from Darwin's observations of the Galapagos Islands.

Chapter 6-Evolution
- The document discusses evolution and natural selection over time, including Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
- Fossils provide evidence of evolution as they show how species have changed over millions of years, with relative and radioactive dating used to determine the age of fossils. The fossil record shows a history of life on Earth but is incomplete as not all organisms are fossilized.
- Embryology and similarities in DNA and physical structures between species also provide evidence that species are related through common ancestors. Primates including humans share characteristics like opposable thumbs and binocular vision. Hominids evolved 4-6 million years ago and include early human ancestors like Homo
How does evolution happen
Charles Darwin developed the theory of natural selection after observing variations in finch beaks on the Galapagos Islands. Natural selection has four parts: overproduction of offspring, inherited variation of traits, struggle for survival, and successful reproduction of adapted organisms. Darwin lacked an understanding of genetics and the source of variations, but we now know traits are inherited from parents and variations arise from gene combinations. Natural selection can act through factors like hunting, resistance, and competition to change population levels over time and potentially lead to the formation of new species.
Darwin and lamarck evolution theories
Lamarck and Darwin proposed theories to explain the evolution of giraffe necks. Lamarck's theory was that giraffe ancestors continually stretched their short necks to reach higher leaves, causing their necks to gradually grow longer over generations. Darwin's theory was that both short and long-necked giraffes originally existed together, but as trees grew taller, short-necked giraffes starved since they could not reach leaves, while long-necked giraffes survived and passed on their long necks.
Chapter 13- higher animals
Mollusks are soft-bodied invertebrates that usually have one or two shells. They have a mantle that covers their organs and secretes shell material. Mollusks are classified based on their shells and feet into gastropods like snails, bivalves like clams, or cephalopods like squid. Arthropods are the largest animal group with over 1 million species. They have jointed appendages and segmented bodies with an exoskeleton. Examples include insects, spiders, and crustaceans. Echinoderms have a hard endoskeleton and radial symmetry, examples are sea stars and sea urchins.

This document contains a multiple choice test on evolution concepts including:
- Genomic DNA is a more definite characteristic for showing relatedness between organisms than courting behavior.
- The oldest fossils can be found in the Pre-Cambrian Era.
- Adaptations seen in different bird beak shapes on the Galapagos Islands and the dying out of dinosaurs support the process of adaptation.
- Homologous structures like the wings of bats and butterflies show evolutionary relationships.
- Statements and diagrams illustrate concepts of natural selection, use and disuse, convergent and divergent evolution.
Classification of living things (An Introduction)
This document discusses classification and naming of organisms. It provides examples of classifying 14 unlabeled organisms by characteristics like color or shape. The document explains that scientific classification is done in a hierarchical manner, from broadest to most specific levels of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Scientific names provide a standardized Latin naming convention for precise identification of any organism. The document emphasizes that an organized classification system is important for fields like science, commerce, and entertainment to systematically group and locate items.
Evolution by means of natural selection lab
1) Students will play a game where they use different utensils (spoon, spork, fork) as bird beaks to pick up colored beans representing insects.
2) They will test which utensil can gather the most insects. This models how bird beak adaptations lead to more or less success in finding food.
3) The activity aims to demonstrate how environmental pressures and natural selection can drive evolutionary changes in a species over multiple generations as less adapted traits die out.
Multiple Choice
This document contains a series of multiple choice questions about various topics in evolutionary biology, including components of the theory of natural selection, examples of sexual selection, the composition of the H1N1 virus, scientists who proposed theories of evolution, the name given to speciation events, theories of the pattern of evolution, opposing theories to uniformitarianism, forms of mimicry, runaway selection, and concepts inconsistent with Darwinian evolution.
Dinosaurs by Hugo Puente
Dinosaurs dominated land for over 135 million years as the dominant terrestrial vertebrates from the Triassic period until the end of the Cretaceous period 65.5 million years ago. They exhibited a diverse range of sizes and forms. While commonly thought of as lizards, dinosaurs were actually a separate group of reptiles with an upright posture unlike lizards. Many dinosaurs were herbivores that ate plants, but some were carnivores that preyed on animals like lizards, turtles, eggs, or early mammals. It is theorized that an asteroid impact 65 million years ago caused a mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Darwins Finches
Darwin discovered 13 species of finches on the Galapagos Islands that all descended from a common ancestor. The finches have adapted to their environments by developing differences in beak type, color, and size to eat various foods like seeds, insects, or use tools. Peter and Rosemary Grant studied the finches to show there is enough natural variation within each species for natural selection to lead to changes over time, such as documenting changes in finch beak and body traits during drought.
The Evolution of Living Things
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of evolution, including fossils that show transitions between species over time, comparisons of DNA that show closer genetic relationships between species that shared more recent common ancestors, homologous structures that imply common descent, and vestigial structures that have no function but provide evidence of ancestral traits. It also describes how scientists use the layers in which fossils are discovered to determine the relative ages of different species and the order in which they lived.
The evolution of living things
The document discusses evolution and natural selection. It defines key terms like adaptation, species, population and describes how fossils and comparing anatomy provide evidence of evolution. Charles Darwin developed the theory of natural selection to explain how evolution occurs through inherited traits that aid survival being preserved and passed on, with beneficial mutations accumulating over generations to form new species. The process of speciation and examples like finches on the Galapagos Islands illustrate how natural selection can lead to the formation of new species over time.
DLC Evolution Poster (2)
Evolution is defined as all species arising and developing through natural selection of inherited variations that increase survival and reproduction. Charles Darwin discovered evolution through observing differing beak sizes in Galapagos finches that helped survival. The fossil record documents changes in past life and provides evidence of evolution by showing connections between species and filling gaps in the fossil record.
C:\fakepath\teaching lesson classification
This document discusses classification of organisms and the development of modern biological classification systems. It explains that organisms can be classified into groups based on observable characteristics and that the modern system originated with two main kingdoms, plants and animals. Over time, as scientists discovered more types of organisms, new kingdoms like fungi and protista were added to properly classify organisms that did not fit exclusively into plant or animal. The document stresses that classification systems are important tools for organizing knowledge in biology and other fields.

Understanding Evolution
- Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed species on the Galapagos Islands and noticed finches with different beak shapes that corresponded to their habitats and food sources.
- Influenced by Thomas Malthus' ideas about population growth, Darwin proposed that species evolve over generations through natural selection, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and pass on those traits.
- Darwin spent over 20 years researching and developing his theory before publishing On the Origin of Species in 1859. He provided extensive evidence from his observations and from fossils that species have changed over time, leading to biodiversity. His theory of evolution by natural selection became the
Types of species
There are several types of species recognized, including:
- Species, which are groups of similar organisms capable of reproduction;
- Semi-species, which are transitional between species and subspecies and have some but not all species attributes;
- Allopatric species, which are related species with non-overlapping geographical ranges, such as the Indian and African lions.
Seismic Waves
This document discusses different types of seismic waves. P waves are faster longitudinal waves that cause compression and rarefaction. S waves are slower transverse waves that cause a crest and trough motion and cannot pass through liquids. Surface waves are a combination of P and S waves and move the slowest. Tsunamis are ocean waves that are above normal size ranging from 2 cm to 30 meters. Seismographs record ground movements and use the different arrival times of P and S waves to locate earthquakes and find underground resources.
Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments breeding pea plants to study inheritance of traits. He bred purebred pea plants (P generation) that differed in one trait, such as plant height. Their offspring (F1 generation) all exhibited the dominant trait. When the F1 offspring were bred with each other, their offspring (F2 generation) exhibited both traits, with the dominant trait appearing more often. Mendel's experiments demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring via discrete units (now known as genes and alleles) and that dominant alleles always appear in the offspring if one parent transmits it.

Evolution BMB812 1.ppt
The document provides an overview of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It discusses Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he observed patterns of diversity of life and collected fossils. Darwin was particularly interested in the variations among species on the Galapagos Islands. After returning home, Darwin hypothesized that separate species may have evolved from common ancestors over time through natural selection and the struggle for existence. The theory was published in Origin of Species, providing evidence for evolution and common descent.

This document provides an overview of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It discusses Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he observed differences in species between locations, collected fossils, and studied organisms in the Galapagos Islands. Darwin noticed traits varied between related species and populations. This led him to hypothesize that species slowly change over generations through natural selection, where individuals better suited to the environment are more likely to survive and pass on their traits.

This document discusses evolution and natural selection. It explains that evolution occurs as species change over time through genetic variations being passed down through reproduction and natural selection, where organisms best adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce. The document outlines Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection, his observations on the HMS Beagle voyage that led to his hypothesis, and evidence that has been discovered since that supports the theory, including homologous structures, vestigial organs, embryonic development, and the fossil record.
Evolution- Natural Selection.pptnjjhggffffff
This document provides an overview of evolution and Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. It defines evolution as change over time, specifically changes in gene frequencies in a population. It describes Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he made observations, such as different species in South America and unique species on the Galapagos Islands, that led him to propose natural selection. Natural selection consists of overproduction of offspring, genetic variation, competition for limited resources, and differential survival and reproduction of individuals with traits best suited for the environment.
Evolution+and+natural+selection pvms[1]
Genetic variations are passed on through reproduction. Natural selection leads to evolution as organisms best adapted to their environment have a better chance of surviving and reproducing. Our understanding of evolution has changed over time from pre-Darwin beliefs that species did not change to Darwin's theory that organisms evolve from common ancestors through natural selection and adaptation to their environment. Evidence for evolution includes homologous structures between species, vestigial organs, embryonic development, and the fossil record.
Evolution+and+natural+selection pvms[1]
This document discusses evolution and natural selection. It explains that evolution occurs as species change over time through genetic variations being passed down through reproduction and natural selection, where organisms best suited to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce. The document outlines Charles Darwin's voyage where he made observations of related but different species on the Galapagos Islands, leading him to hypothesize that organisms evolve from common ancestors over time through natural selection. It provides examples of evidence that support evolution, including homologous structures, vestigial organs, embryonic development, and the fossil record.
Darwin Theory
Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection after observing variations between species during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. His findings showed that isolated populations evolve distinct traits, like the varied tortoises on the Galapagos Islands. He hypothesized that organisms better adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and pass on their traits, leading to the emergence of new species over generations. Fossils, anatomical similarities, and biogeography provide evidence that all life shares a common ancestry.

Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations and evidence collected during his voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836. He noticed that species varied between geographic locations and that fossils showed extinct species similar to modern ones. Upon returning home, Darwin hypothesized that species evolve over generations through natural selection of inheritable traits that aid survival and reproduction in the local environment. He published his theory in On the Origin of Species in 1859.
darwin evolution by R 3.pptx
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations and evidence collected during his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle. During the voyage, Darwin noticed variations in species between different geographic locations and discovered fossils that resembled modern species. Upon returning home, Darwin hypothesized that all life on Earth descended from common ancestors and that natural selection leads to gradual changes in species over many generations as individuals better suited for their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations and evidence collected during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. He noticed that species on different islands were well-adapted to their local environments, and that fossils resembled modern species, suggesting life had changed over time. Darwin proposed that individuals vary within a population, and that natural selection leads to the survival of individuals best suited for their environment, causing species to change gradually over many generations through descent with modification.

Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations and evidence collected during his voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836. His theory proposed that (1) organisms vary individually, (2) favorable variations help organisms survive and reproduce more successfully in their environment, and (3) over generations this process leads to evolution of new species. Key evidence Darwin cited includes the fossil record, biogeography, homologous structures, and embryological similarities between organisms.
Biology- Chapter 15 PowerPoint
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. He noticed variations between species on different islands and in the fossil record. Darwin proposed that organisms produce more offspring than can survive, and individuals with traits better suited to the environment tend to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits. Over many generations, this process of natural selection leads to descent with modification and the evolution of new species.
15 Darwin’S Theory Of Evolution (Version 2)
The document summarizes Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It describes Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he observed patterns of diversity among species in places like the Galapagos Islands. This led him to propose that life evolves over time through natural selection, where traits beneficial for survival are passed on while others die out. The document also outlines evidence that shaped Darwin's thinking, such as fossils, biogeography, and homologous and vestigial structures between organisms.

Evolution.pptx
This document summarizes key concepts about evolution including Lamarck's theory, Darwin's theory, natural selection, and evidence of evolution. It discusses how Lamarck believed that acquired characteristics could be inherited, while Darwin proposed that gradual changes over generations through natural selection could lead to new species. The document uses examples like giraffes' long necks and Darwin's observations of finches on the Galapagos Islands to illustrate these concepts. It establishes that evolution means all life is descended from common ancestors and has diversified over billions of years through natural selection.
Natural selection of Charles Darwin
This document provides an overview of evolution and Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. It discusses how evolution is both a fact, as organisms have changed over time as seen in the fossil record, and a theory explaining the mechanism of change. Darwin's observations of finches and tortoises on the Galapagos Islands led him to understand that organisms adapt to their environments over generations through natural selection, in which heritable traits that increase survival are passed on. His theory was supported by examples like the adaptation of peppered moths during the Industrial Revolution.
Natural selection
Charles Darwin developed the theory of natural selection after making observations during his voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836. On various islands in the Galapagos Archipelago, Darwin noticed that finches had adapted to have different beak sizes and shapes depending on the foods available. He concluded that organisms evolve over generations to have traits better suited for their environment, and those traits help the organisms survive and pass their genes on to offspring. This process of natural selection leads to evolution over long periods of time as beneficial genetic variations become more common in populations.

Cancer
Cancer is a disease where cells divide uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body. It discusses the immune system's role in cancer and outlines the main stages of cancer progression. The document also briefly mentions pet cancer, chemotherapy, and electrotherapy as cancer treatment options.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is often caused by bacteria and can lead to death. Symptoms include fever, chills, chest pain, coughing phlegm, and shortness of breath. Treatments can last up to 3 months to clear the infection from the lungs.
Programmed death2
Programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, is an essential process for development and removing damaged or old cells. Apoptosis helps shape tissues during development and removes cells exposed to DNA damage from sunlight, viruses, or chemicals. As cells divide and age over time, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes called telomeres get shorter with each division, triggering apoptosis after a cell has divided approximately 30 times to remove old or damaged cells.
Pro biotics2
This document discusses microbes and probiotics, references rat studies on microbiomes, and includes two multimedia file attachments about metabolomics and distinguishing between dangerous and friendly microbes.
Diabetes2
Diabetes affects over 285 million people worldwide and can be categorized into three main types: Type I which affects 15% of cases mostly in young people and requires insulin injections; Type II which affects 85% of older individuals and may be treated through insulin injections, exercise or drugs if insulin production is low or not functioning; and gestational diabetes which impacts 5% of pregnancies. Treatment for Type I is insulin injections while Type II can be managed through insulin injections, exercise or medication depending on insulin levels and functioning.
Asthma2
Asthma is a condition that affects over 300 million people worldwide and causes 250,000 deaths per year, where the airways become inflamed and narrowed, triggered by things like early infections, pollution, immune development issues, illness, exercise, stress, airborne irritants, allergies, and acid reflux. Treatments include new therapies and medications that are fast-acting for acute symptoms or long-term to control the condition.
Allergies2
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to harmless substances by producing antibodies. The first exposure causes the body to produce IgE antibodies that stick to basophil cells, and the second exposure triggers those cells to release histamine, causing allergy symptoms. Common types of allergies include allergic rhinitis (sneezing and stuffy nose), asthma (restricted airways), atopic dermatitis (skin irritation), and food allergies which are treated by eliminating the offending foods like milk, eggs, chicken, and peanuts from the diet.
Aids2
Immunology discusses HIV/AIDS, including that HIV is the virus that causes AIDS when it destroys T cells in the immune system. The document outlines how HIV enters cells through macrophages, integrates into the cell's nucleus, and hijacks the cell to produce more viruses. It notes that AIDS is diagnosed when the T cell count drops below 200 and that there were over 33 million people infected with HIV globally in 2009, with around 3 million new infections and 2 million AIDS-related deaths that year, making it one of the top causes of mortality.
Blood diseases2
The document summarizes three blood diseases: Leukemia causes a massive increase in white blood cells due to radiation, carcinogens, or viruses, with symptoms of chills, fever, and pain, and is treated by replacing bone marrow; Agranulocytosis causes low neutrophil cells due to drug use, with symptoms of fever and mouth issues, treated with antibiotics; Mononucleosis causes abnormal lymphocytes from the Epstein-Barr virus, with symptoms of fever, tiredness and enlarged spleen, treated with a month of rest.
Blood cells2
The document discusses the different types of white blood cells, including lymphocytes (T cells and B cells), monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. It provides the percentage of each type of white blood cell in blood and their relative sizes. Each white blood cell type has a different role, such as lymphocytes forming immunity, monocytes becoming macrophages, eosinophils responding to parasites and allergies, and neutrophils being the first to infection sites.
Immune response2
The document discusses the immune response process. During a primary response to an antigen, there is a latent period followed by an exponential increase in IgM antibodies and then a declining phase with IgG antibodies produced. Some B cells become memory cells. Upon a secondary exposure, the immune response is faster, stronger, and involves memory cells, resulting in less severe symptoms or no symptoms from the real disease. Vaccines cause a primary response to mimic a secondary response from the real disease.
Complement cellularimmunity2
Complement is a group of proteins that can punch holes in cells and attract white blood cells. It functions through opsonization, chemotaxis, and cell lysis. The complement system has an alternative pathway that does not require antibodies. Cellular immunity involves macrophages engulfing antigens through endocytosis, preparing antigen pieces, displaying them on the surface, and showing them to T helper cells to signal T killer cells to swarm the site.
Antibodies2
This document discusses the main types of antibodies (immunoglobulins) in the human body: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. IgG is the most common antibody type found in blood and tissues. IgM is the first antibody produced during an initial immune response. IgA functions in external secretions, while IgD plays a role in immune system development. IgE helps fight parasites but can also trigger allergic reactions when overactive.
Organs2
The body has innate and acquired immunity. Innate immunity is protection present at birth and includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, cells like macrophages, and chemicals like enzymes. Acquired immunity develops after birth and involves cells like T and B lymphocytes that kill specific germs or produce antibodies, as well as organs like the bone marrow and thymus that help mature immune cells.
Introduction2
The immune system protects the body from infection and disease. It consists of organs like the spleen and thymus, as well as white blood cells. The spleen destroys old red blood cells while the thymus develops cells that attack viruses.
Heat transfer2
Molecules are always in motion. The energy level and speed of molecular motion determines the state of matter and temperature. Heat transfer occurs as warmer objects transfer
Energy2
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change and exists in two main forms: potential energy which is stored energy and kinetic energy which is energy in motion. The document outlines the main types of energy including mechanical, thermal, chemical, nuclear, electrical, and electromagnetic energy. Mechanical energy involves the motion of objects, thermal energy is heat, chemical energy involves atomic bonds, nuclear energy is within atoms, electrical energy is the movement of electrons, and electromagnetic energy is light.
