The document outlines a worksheet focused on natural selection and evolution, requiring short answers for questions on evidence supporting natural selection, human influence on evolution, examples of evolutionary processes, and the emergence of new species from existing ones. It emphasizes the need for consistent APA formatting in references. The questions cover both theoretical and practical implications of evolutionary concepts.

1. Natural Selection and Patterns of Evolution Worksheet
Complete the worksheet writing 100- to 200-word short answers
for each question. Format your references consistent with APA
guidelines.
1.
What is the direct evidence in support of the theory of natural
selection? Include at least four examples.
2.
Humans shape their environment in ways that other organisms
cannot. Are humans subject to the same pressures of natural
selection as other organisms? Why?
3.
Provide an example of convergent and divergent evolution,
adaptive radiation, and co-evolution. Then, choose one of the
examples you provided. What implications might this example
have for future humans?
4.

2. How does a new species evolve from a pre-existing species?
Include a brief analysis of the factors affecting speciation.
