Essential Question:
Questions:
What is Evolution?
`
How would you
summarize
Darwins
hypothesis and the
evidence of his
statement of
evolution?
How is natural
selection
connected to
evolution?
How could Darwins
finches adapt to
certain areas of the
island with bigger
and small nuts?
What information
did Darwin have to
prove his idea on
evolution and his
finches

Notes:
Evolution: change over time, process by which modern organisms
come from ancient organisms.
EVOLUTION IS A THOERY!!-WELL SUPPORTED EXLAINATON.
Charles Darwin -studied plants and animals
(things he noticed)
1. Patterns of diversity
2. Living organisms
3. The Galapagos island
Darwin published a book on the origin of species by
natural selection
Father OF EVOLUTION
Lamarck: the first to evolutionary theory came from
larmarck.
-said that adaptations could be inherited over time .
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE:
-prevention of infectious diseases.
Known to be the Greatest breakthrough of mankind.
SPECIES AND POPULATION
Species: group of organisms with similar features that can
reproduce and create fertilize offspring.
Population: group of individuals of the same species living in the
same place of a certain time.
Mutations: natural selection-heredity-separation
TO BE CONSIDERED NEW SPEICES: enough mutations occur in
which new spices in s population can no longer mate successfully.
PUNCTUATED EQUILIBRIM
-period of rapid speciation followed on by period of statis
-ridged inconsistence
-fossils in the earth had gaps. Layers in earths crush (evidence)
-doesnt cover natural selection and traditional species as nicely

(missing info.)

Summary: evolution is change over time, processed by which modern organisms come from ancient organisms.
Darwins discovery of how animals can adapt over time to different environments and comes down to survival of
the unfitness. The father of evolution, Lamarck and his statement, definitions of key terms.
