2. 6.1: Adaptation: an inherited trait helps an organism survive

3. 6.1: The Four Lines of Evidence for Evolution are:
Fossil Record (this is similarity to and between ancient organisms)
Embryology (this is similarity in early development)
Homologous Structures (this is similarity in body structure)
DNA (this is similarity in chemical compounds)

4. #1 Fossil Record
Youngest on top
Oldest on bottom

5. #2: Similarities in Early Development
Embryos of many org. look similar!

6. #3 Homologous and Analogous Structures:

7. #4: Similarities in Chemical Compounds
All org. have DNA!!!

8. 6.2: The Development of Darwin’s Theory
Hutton
Concluded that Earth is millions of years old
Lyell
explained how geological features could be built up & broken down over long periods of time
Lamarck
living things have changed over time
all species were descended from other species
organisms adapted to environment
Malthus
If the human population continued to grow unchecked, sooner or later there would be insufficient living space & food for everyone

9. 6.2: Principals of Natural Selection
Populations over-reproduce.
Individuals in a population vary.
Favorable adaptations are selected.
Favorable adaptations accumulate.

10. 6.3: Speciation
Isolation: the population is isolated into 2 smaller populations.
Adaptation: the populations adapt to different environments.
Differentiation: the populations can no longer interbreed.

11. 6.3: Extinction: the environment changes and the organisms cannot survive in the new conditions.
