• What is life?
• What distinguishes living things from nonliving
things?
• The phenomenon of life seems to defy a simple,
one-sentence definition.
• We recognize life mainly by what living things do.

• Evolution is
• the fundamental principle of life and
• the core theme that unifies all of biology.
• Life evolves.
• Each species is one twig of a branching tree of life
extending back in time through ancestral species
more and more remote.
• Species that are very similar, such as the brown
bear and polar bear, share a more recent common
ancestor that represents a relatively recent branch
point on the tree of life.
