2 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Change over Time Bellringer The cockroach first appeared on Earth over 250 million years ago and is thriving today all over the world. A giant deer that was 2 m tall and had antlers up to 3.6 m wide first appeared less than 1 million years ago and became extinct around 11,000 years ago. Why do you think one animal thrived and the other one perished? Record your answer in your science journal. Chapter C5

Describe one pathway through which a modern whale could have evolved from an ancient mammal. Explain how comparing organisms can provide evidence that they have ancestors in common. Chapter C5

A species is a group of organisms that can mate with one another to produce fertile offspring. A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment is called an adaptation. Chapter C5

Scientists observe that species have changed over time. The process in which populations gradually change over time is called evolution. Chapter C5

ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Change over Time Evidence of Change over Time Fossils The remains or imprints of once-living organisms found in layers of rock called fossils. The Fossil Record By studying fossils, scientists have made a timeline of life known as the fossil record. The fossil record organizes fossils by their estimated ages and physical similarities. Chapter C5

ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Change over Time Evidence of Ancestry Order of Life The fossil record provides evidence about the order in which species have existed. Drawing Connections Scientists have named and described hundreds of thousands of living and ancient species. Scientists use information about these species to sketch out a “ tree of life” that includes all known organisms. Chapter C5

ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Change over Time Examining Organisms Case Study: Evolution of the Whale Scientists think that the ancient ancestor of whales was probably a mammal that lived on land and that could run on four legs. Walking Whales The organisms shown on the next slide form a sequence between ancient four-legged mammals and modern whales. Several pieces of evidence indicate that these species are related by ancestry. Chapter C5

ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Change over Time Comparing Organisms Comparing Skeletal Structures The structure and order of bones of a human arm are similar to those of the front limbs of a cat, a dolphin, and a bat. These similarities suggest that cats, dolphins, bats, and humans had a common ancestor. Chapter C5

The fact that all existing species have DNA supports the theory that all species share a common ancestor. Chapter C5

Bellringer Upright walking, hair, fingerprints, binocular vision, and speech are all traits that almost all humans have in common. List the advantages and disadvantages of each trait. Do you think the advantages are greater than the disadvantages? Why or why not? Record your responses in your science journal. Chapter C5

16 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How Does Evolution Happen? Objectives List four sources of Charles Darwin’s ideas about evolution. Describe the four parts of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural that gradual processes had changed the Earth’s surface over selection. Relate genetics to evolution. Chapter C5

17 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How Does Evolution Happen? Charles Darwin Darwin’s Excellent Adventure After Charles Darwin graduated from college, he served as naturalist on a ship called the HMS Beagle. During a voyage around the world, Darwin collected thousands of plant and animal samples. Chapter C5

18 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How Does Evolution Happen? Charles Darwin Darwin’s Finches Darwin noticed that the finches of the Galápagos Islands were a little different from the finches in Ecuador. And the finches on each island differed from the finches on the other islands. Chapter C5

19 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How Does Evolution Happen? Darwin’s Thinking Ideas About Breeding The process in which humans select which plants or animals to reproduce based on certain desired traits is called selective breeding. (examples: dogs and farm animals) Ideas About Population Only a limited number of individuals survive to reproduce. Thus, there is something special about the offspring of the survivors. Chapter C5

20 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How Does Evolution Happen? Darwin’s Thinking, continued Ideas About Earth’s History Darwin had begun to think that species could evolve over time. It became clear to Darwin that Earth was much older than anyone had imagined. Chapter C5

21 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How Does Evolution Happen? Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection What Is Natural Selection? Darwin proposed the theory that evolution happens through a process that he called natural selection. Individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals. Genetics and Evolution Today, scientists have found most of the evidence that Darwin lacked. They know that variation happens as a result of differences in genes. Chapter C5

25 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Natural Selection in Action Changes in Populations Adaptation to Hunting People hunt elephants for their tusks. As a result, fewer of the elephants that have tusks survive to reproduce, and more of the tuskless elephants survive. Insecticide Resistance A few insects in a population may be naturally resistant to a chemical insecticide. These insects pass their resistance trait to their offspring, and an insect population gradually becomes resistant to the insecticide. Chapter C5

For example, the females of many bird species prefer to mate with males that have colorful feathers. Chapter C5

Adaptation Populations constantly undergo natural selection. After two groups have separated, natural selection may act on each group in different ways. Chapter C5

38 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 1 When the Grand Canyon was forming, a single population of tassel-eared squirrels may have been separated into two groups. Today, descendants of the two groups live on opposite sides of the canyon. The two groups share many characteristics, but they do not look the same. For example, both groups have tasseled ears, but each group has a unique fur color pattern. An important difference between the groups is that the Abert squirrels live on the south rim of the canyon, and the Kaibab squirrels live on the north rim. Continued on the next slide Standardized Test Preparation Chapter C5

39 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 1, continued The environments on the two sides of the Grand Canyon are different. The north rim is about 370 m higher than the south rim. Almost twice as much precipitation falls on the north rim than on the south rim every year. Over many generations, the two groups of squirrels have adapted to their new environments. Over time, the groups became very different. Many scientists think that the two types of squirrels are no longer the same species. The development of these two squirrel groups is an example of speciation in progress.

A Speciation is evident in two groups of squirrels in the Grand Canyon area. B Two groups of squirrels in the Grand Canyon area are closely related. C Two species can form from one species.

44 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 2 You know from experience that individuals in a population are not exactly the same. If you look around the room, you will see a lot of differences among your classmates. You may have even noticed that no two dogs or two cats are exactly the same. No two individuals have exactly the same adaptations. For example, one cat may be better at catching mice, and another is better at running away from dogs. Continued on the next slide Standardized Test Preparation Chapter C5

45 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 2, continued Observations such as these form the basis of the theory of natural selection. Because adaptations help organisms survive to reproduce, the individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to pass their traits to future generations.
