Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
 Evolution, or change over time, is the
process by which modern organisms have
descended from ancient organisms.
Voyage of Beagle
 Dates: February 12th, 1831
 Captain: Charles Darwin
 Ship: H.M.S. Beagle
 Destination: Voyage around the world.
 Findings: evidence to propose a
revolutionary hypothesis about how life
changes over time
The Journey Home
 Darwin Observed that characteristics
of many plants and animals vary
greatly.
 Hypothesis: Separate species may
have arose from an original ancestor
Publication of Orgin of Species
 Alfred Russel Wallace
wrote an essay
summarizing
evolutionary change
from his field work in
Malaysia

 Gave Darwin the drive


to publish his findings
Natural Selection & Artificial
Selection
 Natural Variation--differences among
individuals of a species
 Natural selection --is the gradual, non-random
process by which biological traits become either
more or less common in a population as a function
of differential reproduction of their bearers.
 Artificial selection- nature provides the variation
among different organisms, and humans select
those variations they find useful.
Evolution by Natural Selection
 The Struggle for Existence-members of
each species have to compete for food,
shelter, other life necessities

 Survival of the Fittest-Some individuals


better suited for the environment
Survival of the Fittest
 Fitness
 Ability of an Individual To Survive &
Reproduce
 Adaptation
 Inherited Characteristic That
Increases an Organisms Chance for
Survival. (can be physical or
behavioral)

Descent
 Descent with Modification-Each living organism
has descended, with changes from other species
over long periods of time. Ex) body structures,
niches, habitats.

 Common Descent- All species, living and extinct,


were derived from common ancestors
Evidence of Evolution
 The Fossil Record

 Geographic Distribution of Living Things

 Homologous Body Structures

 Similarities in Early Development


Evidence for Evolution
 The Fossil Record-
Layer show change
 Geographic
Distribution of Living
Things
 Homologous Body
Structures
 Similarities in Early
Development
Evidence of Evolution
 The Fossil Record
 Geographic
Distribution of
Living Things-similar
environments have
similar types of
organisms
 Homologous Body
Structures
 Similarities in Early
Development
Homologous Structures

 Homologous Structures-structures that have


different mature forms in different organisms, but
develop from the same embryonic tissue.
Analogous Structures
 Structures of different species
having similar or corresponding
function but not from the same
evolutionary origin
Summary of Darwin’s Theory

 Individuals in nature differ from one


another

 Organisms in nature produce more offspring


than can survive, and many of those who do
not survive do not reproduce.

 Because more organisms are produce than


can survive, each species must struggle for
resources
Summary of Darwin’s Theory
 Each organism is unique, each has
advantages and disadvantages in the
struggle for existence
 Species change over time
 Individuals best suited for the environment survive
and reproduce most successful
 Species alive today descended with modification
from species that lived in the past
 All organisms on earth are united into a single
family tree of life by common descent
