EC: Adaptation was based on (3) –speed, –strength, and/or –intelligence What is the idea behind Darwin’s statement, “survival of the fittest” (2) –The fittest live on for generations –They often determine if the weaker survive or not. Charles Darwin:

EC: Social Darwinism* (4) Is NOT a teaching of Charles Darwin Using Darwin’s theories, racists explained why certain people were better, superior to others. –Used “scientific” study and “evidence” to prove it. –Most of the data was manipulated, racist, exaggerated, and or false.

Racism: belief that one race is superior to another…..often based on unscientific or manipulated scientific evidence or theory. “Whites” will use racism to justify taking over lands owned by non-Whites and subjugating the non-Whites to work for them and buy their products –imperialism.

Geology—Earth Science EC: ____________ suggested that the Earth was over a million years old. Charles Lyell Later research suggested the Earth was over two billion years old, but that life was much shorter than that.

Creationism vs. Science These ideas conflicted –EC: accepted religious explanations that Earth is only a few thousand years since creation by God….. –“Creation Theory”; “Intelligent Design” Discoveries by anthropologists of prehistoric human bones and cave homes in Neanderthal, in Germany, older than the religious teaching, spurred more research into the origins of human beings.

Charles Darwin:

Infographic, p How did Darwin’s voyage help him develop his theory of natural selection? Travel let him study different varieties, This gave him ideas about survival and evolution. 2 Why would the isolation of Galapagos islands attract scientists such as Darwin?
