Evolution and It’s

Evidences
What is an Evolution?
Evolution is the change of traits which were inherited
from an organism's ancestor and takes thousands of
years. This is the process by which different kinds of
living organisms are thought to have developed and
diversified from earlier forms during the history of the
earth.
Biodiversity
These are genetic variation of species as a result of many
process of evolution. In other words, these are the living things
we see everywhere such as animals.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck during the early
1800s when he made a theory about the
organic evolution of animals. Lamarck
said that animals adapt to the changes in
their environment and the body parts of
the animals are also changed depending
upon the needs of the animals.
 His example
Lamarck’s giraffe

When the leaves on the

ground became scarce,
the giraffes reached for
the leaves of tall trees.
This resulted into the
stretching of their necks.
Adaptation
The dynamic evolutionary process of natural selection
that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their
evolutionary fitness.
Darwin’s Theory
on
Common Ancestry
During the time that Lamarck was publishing his ideas and
works in 1809, that same year, Charles Darwin was born.
Darwin wrote and published the book, On the Origin of
Species, which explained that all life forms on Earth have
common ancestry Which later developed into different kinds
of Organisms.
Fossil records that were collected by Darwin in the layers of
sedimentary rock showed that as you go further down the layers,
the older the kind of fossils you can find. The comparison between
the fossils and the structure of the animals that are present today
confirmed Darwin's theory on common ancestry.

Example:
the comparative embryonic development of animals

These organisms
has common
ancestor,
therefore they
never changed
through the
years like the
adaptation.
Comparative anatomy
These are the study of body structures of different species of
animals in order to understand the adaptive changes they have
undergo in the process of evolution.
These are the
examples of
comparative
anatomy of
homologous
structures.
