3. Theory of Evolution Chapter 15 Table of Contents Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Section 3 Evolution in Action

4. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Objectives • Definethe biological process of evolution. • Summarizethe history of scientific ideas about evolution. • DescribeCharles Darwin’s contributions to scientific thinking about evolution. • Analyzethe reasoning in Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. • Relatethe concepts of adaptation and fitness to the theory of natural selection.

5. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 The Idea of Evolution • Evolution is the process of change in the inherited characteristics within populations over generations such that new types of organisms develop from preexisting types.

6. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Evolutionary Relationships Between Whales and Hoofed Mammals

7. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 The Idea of Evolution, continued • Ideas of Darwin’s Time • Scientific understanding of evolution began to develop in the 17th and 18th centuries as geologists and naturalists compared geologic processes and living and fossil organisms around the world.

8. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 The Idea of Evolution, continued • Ideas about Geology • Among geologists, Cuvier promoted the idea of catastrophism, and Lyell promoted uniformitarianism.

9. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 The Idea of Evolution, continued • Lamarck’s Ideas on Evolution • Among naturalists, Lamarck proposed the inheritance of acquired characteristics as a mechanism for evolution.

10. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution

11. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Darwin’s Ideas • Descent with Modification • Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species, in which he argued that descent with modification occurs, that all species descended from common ancestors, and that natural selection is the mechanism for evolution.

12. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Darwin’s Voyage

13. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Darwin’s Ideas, continued • Natural Selection • Organisms in a population adapt to their environment as the proportion of individuals with genes for favorable traits increases. • Those individuals that pass on more genes are considered to have greater fitness.

15. Section 1 History of Evolutionary Thought Chapter 15 Adaptation

16. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Objectives • Relateseveral inferences about the history of life that are supported by evidence from fossils and rocks. • Explainhow biogeography provides evidence that species evolve adaptations to their environments. • Explainhow the anatomy and development of organisms provide evidence of shared ancestry. • Comparethe use of biological molecules with other types of analysis of evolutionary relationships. • Describethe ongoing development of evolutionary theory.

17. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 The Fossil Record • Evidence of evolution can be found by comparing several kinds of data, including the fossil record, biogeography, anatomy and development, and biological molecules. • Evolutionary theories are supported when several kinds of evidence support similar conclusions.

18. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 The Fossil Record, continued • The Age of Fossils • Geologic evidence supports theories about the age and development of Earth.

19. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 The Fossil Record, continued • The Distribution of Fossils • The fossil record shows that the types and distribution of organisms on Earth have changed over time.

20. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 The Fossil Record, continued • Transitional Species • Fossils of transitional species show evidence of descent with modification.

21. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Evidence of Whale Evolution

22. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Biogeography • Biogeography, the study of the locations of organisms around the world, provides evidence of descent with modification.

23. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Anatomy and Physiology • In organisms, analogous structures are similar in function but have different evolutionary origins. • Homologous structures have a common evolutionary origin.

24. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Forelimbs of Vertebrates

25. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Anatomy and Physiology, continued • A species with a vestigial structure probably shares ancestry with a species that has a functional form of the structure.

26. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Vestigial Features

27. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Anatomy and Physiology, continued • Related species show similarities in embryological development.

28. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Similarities in Embryology

29. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Biological Molecules • Similarity in the subunit sequences of biological molecules such as RNA, DNA, and proteins indicates a common evolutionary history.

30. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Hemoglobin Comparison

31. Section 2 Evidence of Evolution Chapter 15 Developing Theory • Modern scientists integrate Darwin’s theory with other advances in biological knowledge. • Theories and hypotheses about evolution continue to be proposed and investigated.

32. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Objectives • Describehow convergent evolution can result among different species. • Explainhow divergent evolution can lead to species diversity. • Compareartificial selection and natural selection. • Explainhow organisms can undergo coevolution.

33. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Case Study: Caribbean Anole Lizards • Ongoing examples of evolution among living organisms can be observed, recorded, and tested. • In convergent evolution,organisms that are not closely related resemble each other because they have responded to similar environments.

34. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Case Study: Caribbean Anole Lizards, continued • Divergence and Radiation • In divergent evolution, related populations become less similar as they respond to different environments. • Adaptive radiation is the divergent evolution of a single group of organisms in a new environment.

35. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Comparing Convergent andDivergent Evolution

36. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Natural Selection of Anole Lizard Species

37. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Artificial Selection • The great variety of dog breeds is an example ofartificial selection.

38. Section 3 Evolution in Action Chapter 15 Coevolution • The increasing occurrence of antibiotic resistance among bacteria is an example of coevolution in progress.
