Evolution
2
Inherited change in organisms over time
Evolution p. 369 Inherited change in organisms over time
3
Definition: Evolution
Scientific (more accepted now): the change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population
4
Did Darwin ever use the word evolution?
NOPE He used instead “descent with modification”
6
Charles Darwin ( ), In 1831, Charles Darwin sailed to the Galapagos Islands in the HMS Beagle. “Father of Evolution” Natural Selection
7
Alexander Oparin proposed that life began in the early oceans where a rich "primordial soup" of chemical compounds could build up. He suggested that energy from UV light and lightening could form these compounds.

Ammonia + nitrogen + methane + hydrogen + water + Voltage …after some time amino acids and organic compounds (BUT NOT LIFE) VIDEO of Miller Explaining the Experiment
10
James Hutton: The Father of Modern Geology
The earth had to be much more than a few thousand years old (6,000) and more like millions. (ie., lava pushed up land for volcanoes)
11
Charles Lyell Principles of Geology
The processes that occurred in the earth in the past still occur today.
12
Accepted Age of the Earth
billion years old LIFE AROSE 3.5 billion years ago
13
Lamarck (1744 -1829) theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics
FALSE
14
Why do Giraffes have long necks?
16
Then according to Lamarck…
Pass on longer necks. Or if you lift weights, your children will be big-muscled! BUT…
17
Passed-on-traits must be in the chromosomes in the sex cells
So…Lamarck was wrong! Passed-on-traits must be in the chromosomes in the sex cells
18
Malthus Population would outrun food supply, leading to a decrease in food per person.

22
Did Darwin know about genes?
So what he compared were outward characteristics
23
Main Ideas of Darwin 1. The mechanism of evolutionary change was natural selection (survival of the fittest) –see Darwin’s finches
24
Darwin’s Proposed mechanism for evolution = natural selection
25
Artificial Selection Humans select the variations they find useful
Bred to produce more meat Humans select the variations they find useful
26
Natural Selection Also “Survival of the Fittest”
Individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully Orchids fool wasps into "mating" with them.
27
“Survival of the fittest”
Natural Selection “Survival of the fittest”
29
Darwin's Theory of Sexual Selection

Why is this natural selection?
Which color beetles’ genes are more likely to be passed on?
32
Natural Selection the driving force behind the process of evolution.

49
What adaptation did each beak allow it to eat these foods?
50
Do Beak Lab What effect does the size and shape of the bird’s beak have on the amount and type of food it can eat?
51
Darwin Agreed with: every species since the
first cells emerged from one common organism (probably some bacteria) = Common Descent
52
Tree of Life Links all living things
53
Geologic Time Scale BACTERIA Common Descent
54
Common Descent theory of universal common descent = all organisms on earth are descended from a common ancestor.
55
Darwin thought the Galapagos finches descended from finches of what country?
Ecuador
56
We are more different than thought!
Previous estimates of genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees suggested they were 98.5–99% identical. However, after the sequencing of the chimpanzee genome 2005, the DNA similarity was fixed at 96%. Nature, the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, which is supported in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),

Factors Affecting Natural Selection
Food supply Disease Unable to mate Weather natural selection Fitness of organisms
58
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Where to find fossils? Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rock are limestone, shale, and sandstone.
59
Geologic Column
60
Rod Sheldon: Sedimentary Layers)
61
Historical Record of Organisms
Youngest (on top) mammals/birds Next reptiles Next amphibians Next fish Oldest (on bottom) prokaryotes
62
Assume that Sedimentary rock is laid down with the oldest rock layer on the bottom and the youngest rock layer on the top
63
Which is the most probable assumption about species A, B, and C ( In undisturbed rock layers)?
1. Species B is more abundant than species C. 2. Species C existed before species B. 3. Species A and B are genetically identical. 4. Species B descended from species A.
64
#2 Species C existed before B
ANSWER #2 Species C existed before B
65
When the industrial revolution arrived in England, the pollution had turned the bark of the trees a much darker color. Since light colored moths are much easier for birds to see on a dark background, they were preferentially eaten.
66
Some say this is not true!
1. Moths fly at night (so color would not be a factor). 2. Moths don’t land on tree trunks; they hang on upper canopy tree limbs.
67
Secondary sexual characteristics: color, size, etc
Secondary sexual characteristics: color, size, etc. different in males and females Sexual Dimorphism
68
2. descent with modification
Main Ideas of Darwin 2. descent with modification See “gradualism” and “punctuated equilibrium”
69
Descent with Modification: Hawaii honeycreepers
70
So…descent with modification
Evolution is a remodeling process Do you agree?
71
Darwin’s Ideas (cont.) 3. Living species have arisen from earlier life-forms (common descent)
72
Common Descent Theories
Phyletic Gradualism Punctuated Equilibrium
73
Phyletic Gradualism Gradual changes You would see transitional fossils (in-between forms)
74
Transitional Fossils (in-between forms)
75
Transitional Fossils The “missing link” or transitional forms may have features common to both species
76
Punctuated Equilibrium
Speciation can occur very quickly, with long periods of little change (equilibria) in between. Proposed by Niles Elderidge and Stephen Jay Gould
77
Compare These Several origins
79
How do we get “proof” of our ideas of evolution?
Fossils Biogeography Comparative Anatomy Comparative Embryology Molecular Biology
80
Fossils Imprints or remnants of organisms that lived in the past

Lucy: Man or Ape? Adult female - 25 yrs
About 40% of her skeleton found Her pelvis, femur (the upper leg bone) and tibia show her to have been bipedal. About 107 cm (3'6") tall (small for her species) About 28 kg (62 lbs) in weight.
99
Where did Lucy get her name?
When the bones were found, the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was playing over during a night of dancing and drinking.
100
Dr. Donald Johanson recollects
November 30, 1974, in Hadar, Ethiopia. "I happened to glance over my right shoulder . . .and there on the surface of the ground was a little bit of an elbow, I recognized it immediately as belonging to a human ancestor.” (good eyes?)
101
Not A Human Arguments Lucy’s DNA found she was indeed an ape (Cell magazine) -few skeletal bones which were usually fragmentary and often poorly preserved. -bones found far apart (1.5 miles away)
102
Other questions on Lucy
Present day orangutan and spider monkeys have the same angle (pelvic and knees) as humans yet are extremely adept tree climbers.
103
And... Her brain size is still small, ape-like in proportion The jaw, in particular, is distinct in that it is V-shaped, totally unlike human jaws.
104
Population Group of individuals of the same species living in the same place at the same time.
105

118
Real Embryos Compared With Haeckel’s
119
Gills? In fact embryos never have true gills, and calling features of human embryos 'gill slits' is merely to read Darwinian theory into the evidence.

121
DNA Cladistic Diagram
122
Molecular Biology Homologies:
Similarities in blood, proteins and DNA and RNA sequences that indicate species relatedness; the greater the similarities, the more closely related two organisms are thought to be
123
Comparative Molecular Biology: Number of Amino Acid Differences with humans
Gorilla 1 Gibbon 2 Rhesus monkey 8 Dog 15 Horse, cow 25 Mouse 27 So organisms with similar DNA or proteins would be more closely related
124
Darwinian Fitness Contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to the contribution of other individuals

Gene Pool The total collection of all genes in a population at one time.
126
Changes within a species
Contrast Microevolution Changes within a species EXAMPLE: humans are getting taller Macroevolution Species change into other species EXAMPLE: reptile into a bird
127
Microevolution Darwin did in fact observe small changes, such as changes in the size and shape of finch beaks etc.
128
Macroevolution? Darwin never did see a finch turn into an iguana or visa versa (or any other such major change). Major changes are theorized to take millions of years.
