2 If a fossil is found in a rock with 20% of the isotope carbon 14 left in it. How old is the fossil?

3 Speciation – creation of a new species from an old one. Where do species come from?

4 Microevolution vs. Macroevolution Fast Slow Fast Slow Can see it happen Can’t see it happen Can see it happen Can’t see it happen in one human life. in one human life. in one human life. in one human life. antibiotic dinosaurs and antibiotic dinosaurs and resistance humans resistance humans

5 Antibiotic Resistance There are millions of bacteria in a host. There are millions of bacteria in a host. There are many freaks and variations among the population. Each with unique traits. There are many freaks and variations among the population. Each with unique traits. If antibiotics are given to a person for a long time then all or most of the bacteria is killed. If antibiotics are given to a person for a long time then all or most of the bacteria is killed. If you stop after a short while the variety that can handle the antibiotic for a short time will be the only ones left. If you stop after a short while the variety that can handle the antibiotic for a short time will be the only ones left. Soon you have a person infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Soon you have a person infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Can you see how this might be dangerous? Can you see how this might be dangerous?

The drugs eventually don’t work because the resistant variants are the only ones to survive. The drugs eventually don’t work because the resistant variants are the only ones to survive. They repopulate the host and levels are back up. They repopulate the host and levels are back up. They are now all resistant. They are now all resistant.

19 The Galapagos Islands & The MS Beagle Darwin traveled to the Galapagos Islands and studied different finches. Darwin traveled to the Galapagos Islands and studied different finches. Each island had a different finch type. Each island had a different finch type. Islands with mountains dividing them in half had 2 types of finches.

20 Speciation So why don’t all organisms look the same if they all evolve? Why doesn’t the arctic wolf and the African dog look the same? They’re both dogs. So why don’t all organisms look the same if they all evolve? Why doesn’t the arctic wolf and the African dog look the same? They’re both dogs. Different environments! Different environments! Where do different species come from? Where do different species come from? Different environments! Different environments!

21 Geographic Isolation Whenever a physical barrier divides a population evolution can take different paths. Whenever a physical barrier divides a population evolution can take different paths.

22 Creating a New Species Two islands. Two islands. Both have the same birds. (the same beak variations) Both have the same birds. (the same beak variations)

23 Creating a New Species Only one island has a drought and only the large beaked finches survive. Only one island has a drought and only the large beaked finches survive. On the other island tree worms become abundant and only slender beaks survive. On the other island tree worms become abundant and only slender beaks survive.

24 Creating a New Species After some time they can no longer mate together. After some time they can no longer mate together. You now have two different species, each on a different island. You now have two different species, each on a different island.

25 Evolution of a Species If there is no geographical isolation then the whole species can evolve into a new one. If there is no geographical isolation then the whole species can evolve into a new one. If there is geographical isolation then the species can split into two different species. Both can be new or only one. If there is geographical isolation then the species can split into two different species. Both can be new or only one. 1 to 2 1 to 1 2
