Evolution Diversity of Life 1
Evolution “Nothing in biology makes sense EXCEPT in the light of evolution. ” Theodosius Dobzhansky 2 Charles Darwin in later years
History of Evolutionary Thought 3
Early Ideas On Earth’s Organisms Aristotle believed species were fixed creations arranged by their complexity n Idea lasted 2000 years n 4
: • • • Contributor’s to Darwin’s thinking included: Charles Lyell –uniformatarianism Georges Cuvier – species extinction (Catastrophism) Thomas Malthus – struggle for existence 5
: • • • Contributor’s to Darwin’s thinking included: James Hutton - Gradualism John Baptiste Lamarck – Inheritance of acquired Characteristics and Law of Use and Disuse Alfred Russel Wallace – organisms evolved from common ancestors 6
Evolutionary Timeline 7
Catastrophism n Idea proposed by George Cuvier n Studied fossil in sedimentary rock strata of Paris n Found some species completely disappeared in more recent layers 8
Catastrophism n Stated that species disappear due to a catastrophic event of the earth’s crust (volcano, earthquake…) 9
Hutton’s Theory of Geological Change n. James Hutton, 1795, Scottish geologist n. Studied invertebrate fossils in Paris Museum n. Described The Geological Forces That Have Changed Life on Earth Over Millions of Years (erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes…) 10
Hutton’s Theory of Geological Change n Changes in Earth’s crust due to slow continuous processes n Idea Known as Gradualism 11
Ideas That Shaped Darwin’s Thinking Thomas Malthus 12
Population Growth n Thomas Malthus, 1798 n Economist n Observed Babies Being Born Faster Than People Were Dying n Population size limited by resources such as the Food Supply 13
The Struggle for Existence n Malthus’ Influence: – High Birth Rates & Limited Resources Would Force Life & Death Competition n Each Species Struggles For: – Food – Living Space – Resources 14
Population Growth n n Malthus Reasoned That If The Human Population Continued To Grow Unchecked, Sooner or Later There Would Be Insufficient Living Space & Food For Everyone Death Rate Will Increase To Balance Population & Food Supply 15
Population Growth n n Darwin Realized Malthus’s Principles Were Visible In Nature Plants & Animals Produce Far More Offspring Than Can Be Supported – Most Die – If They Didn’t – Earth Would Be Overrun 16
Charles Lyell Proposed theory of Uniformitarianism n Geological processes at uniform rates building & wearing down Earth’s crust n Proposed that the Earth was millions of years instead of a few thousand years old n 17
Principles of Geology Published by Lyell Just Before The Beagle Set Sail & read by Darwin n Explained Geological Processes That Shaped The Earth n Helped Darwin Understand Sea Shells In The Andes Mountains At 12, 000+ Feet – Expanded Earth’s Age n 18
Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution n n Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, 1809 One Of First Scientists To Understand That Change Occurs Over Time Stated that Changes Are Adaptations To Environment acquired in an organism’s lifetime Said acquired changes were passed to offspring 19
Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution Idea called Law of Use and Disuse n If a body part were used, it got stronger n If body part NOT used, it deteriorated n 20
Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution n Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics Proposed That By Selective Use Or Disuse Of Organs, Organisms Acquired Or Lost Certain Traits During Their Lifetime n These Traits Could Then Be Passed On To Their Offspring n Over Time This Led To New Species n 21
Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution n Use & Disuse - Organisms Could Change The Size Or Shape Of Organs By Using Them Or Not Using Them Blacksmiths & Their Sons (muscular arms) n Giraffe’s Necks Longer from stretching) n 22
23
Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution n Inheritance Of Acquired Traits – Traits Acquired During Ones Lifetime Would Be Passed To Offspring 24 Clipped ears of dogs could be passed to offspring!
Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution Tendency Toward Perfection n Organisms Are Continually Changing and Acquiring Features That Help Them Live More Successfully In Their Environment n Example: Bird Ancestors Desired To Fly So They Tried Until Wings Developed n 25
Lamarck’s Mistakes n Lamarck Did NOT Know how traits were inherited (Traits are passed through genes) n Genes Are NOT Changed By Activities In Life n Change Through Mutation Occurs Before An Organism Is Born 26
Charles Darwin the Naturalist 27
HMS Beagle’s Voyage 28
The Galapagos Islands n Small Group of Islands 1000 km West of South America n Very Different Climates n Animals On Islands Unique » Tortoises » Iguanas » Finches 29
The Galapagos Islands n n n Volcanic islands off the coast of South America Island species varied from mainland species & from island-toisland species Each island had long or short neck tortoises 30
31
The Galapagos Islands Finches on the islands resembled a mainland finch n More types of finches appeared on the islands where the available food was different (seeds, nuts, berries, insects…) n Finches had different types of beaks adapted to their type of food gathering n 32
33
Darwin’s Observations & Conclusions The Struggle for Existence 34
Voyage of the Beagle During His Travels, Darwin Made Numerous Observations And Collected Evidence That Led Him To Propose A Revolutionary Hypothesis About The Way Life Changes Over Time 35
Darwin’s Observations n n n Patterns of Diversity were shown Unique Adaptations in organisms Species Not Evenly Distributed » Australia, Kangaroos, but No Rabbits » S. America, Llamas 36
Darwin’s Observations n Both Living Organisms & Fossils collected n Fossils included: » Trilobites » Giant Ground Sloth of South America This species NO longer existed. What had happened to them? 37
Evidence for Evolution – The Fossil Record 38
Definition • Evolution is the slow , gradual change in a population of organisms over time 39
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution • The unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce leads to a gradual change in a population, with favorable characteristics accumulating over generations (natural selection) 40 • New species evolve
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Organisms Change Over. Time 41
1) Common Descent with Modification n Darwin proposed that organisms descended from common ancestors Idea that organisms change with time, diverging from a common form Caused evolution of new species 42
2) Natural Selection n Driving force for evolution During the struggle for resources, strongest survive & reproduce Idea that at least some of the differences between individuals, which impact their survival and fertility, are inheritable. 43
Conditions for Natural Selection n n Variation Competition Adaptive Advantage Excess Individuals . 44
Variation in a population • • Individuals of a population vary extensively in their characteristics with no two individuals being exactly alike. Much of this variation between individuals is inheritable. 45
Competition Left unchecked, the number of organisms of each species will increase exponentially, generation to generation n In nature, populations tend to remain stable in size n Environmental resources are limited n 46
Adaptive Advantage • • Individuals who inherit characteristics most fit for their environment are likely to leave more offspring than less fit individuals Called Natural Selection 47
Excess Individuals • • • Production of more individuals than can be supported by the environment leads to a struggle for existence among individuals Only a fraction of offspring survive each generation Survival of the Fittest 48
Origin of Species Darwin Presents His Case 49
Publication of “On The Origin of Species” n n Upon His Return To England, Darwin Developed His Observations Into Theory of Evolution But He Did Not Publish For 25 Years – Why? 50
Publication of “On The Origin of Species” Darwin Knew That His Theory Would Be Extremely Controversial And Would Be Attacked n His Theory Challenged Established Religious & Scientific Beliefs, Particularly About The Creation Of Man n 51
Publication of “On The Origin of Species” n He Refused To Publish Until He Received An Essay From Alfred Wallace – Fellow Naturalist – Independently Developed The Same Theory – After 25 Years, Someone Else Had Come To The Same Conclusions From Their Observations Of Nature 52
Wallace’s Contribution • • Alfred Russel Wallace Independently came to same Conclusion as Darwin that species changed over time because of their struggle for existence When Darwin read Wallace’s essay, he knew he had to publish his findings 53
Publication of “On The Origin of Species” Darwin Presented Wallace’s Essay & Some Of His Work At A Scientific Conference of the Linnaean Society in July of 1858 n Then He Started On his book “Origin of Species” n It Took Darwin 18 Months To Complete The Book n 54
Origin of Species Concepts and Controversy 55
Evolution By Natural Selection Concepts The Struggle for Existence (compete for food, mates, space, water, etc. ) n Survival of the Fittest (strongest able to survive and reproduce) n Descent with Modification (new species arise from common ancestor replacing less fit species) n 56
Survival of the Fittest n Fitness – Ability of an Individual To Survive & Reproduce n Adaptation – Inherited Characteristic That Increases an Organisms Chance for Survival 57
Survival of the Fittest n Adaptations Can Be: – Physical » Speed, Camouflage, Claws, Quills, etc. – Behavioral » Solitary, Herds, Packs, Activity, etc. 58
Survival of the Fittest n Fitness Is Central To The Process Of Evolution n Individuals With Low Fitness – Die – Produce Few Offspring Survival of the Fittest AKA Natural Selection 59
Survival of the Fittest Key Concept Over Time, Natural Selection Results In Changes In The Inherited Characteristics Of A Population. These Changes Increase A Species Fitness In Its Environment 60
Natural Selection n Cannot Be Seen Directly n It Can Only Be Observed As Changes In A Population Over Many Successive Generations – Radiation – Fossil Record 61
Descent With Modification n Takes Place Over Long Periods of Time n Natural Selection Can Be Observed As Changes In – Body Structures – Ecological Niches – Habitats 62
Descent With Modification n Species Today Look Different From Their Ancestors n Each Living Species Has – Descended – With Changes – From Other Species – Over Time 63
Descent With Modification 64
Descent With Modification Implies – All Living Organisms Are Related – Single Tree of Life » DNA, Body Structures, Energy Sources n Common Descent – All Species, Living & Extinct, Were Derived From Common Ancestors 65 n
Natural Variation and Artificial Selection Abandoned The Idea That Species Were Perfect & Unchanging n Observed Significant Variation in All Species Observed n Observed Farmers Use Variation To Improve Crops & Livestock n Called Selective Breeding n 66
Natural Variation and Artificial Selection n Natural Variation – Differences Among Individuals Of A Species n Artificial Selection – Selective Breeding To Enhance Desired Traits Among Stock or Crops 67
Natural Variation and Artificial Selection Key Concept: In Artificial Selection, Nature Provided The Variation Among Different Organisms, And Humans Selected Those Variations That They Found Useful 68
69
Major Problem in Darwin’s Theory No mechanism to explain natural selection • • • . How could favorable variations be transmitted to later generations? With the rediscovery of Mendel’s work in the first half of the 20 th century, the missing link in evolutionary theory was found 70
Opposition to Evolution • • The upheaval surrounding evolution began with Darwin’s publication of On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection The debate continues nearly 150 years later 71
Theory of Evolution Today Supporting Evidence 72
Evidence of Evolution Key Concept Darwin Argued That Living Things Have Been Evolving On Earth For Millions of Years. Evidence For This Process Could Be Found In: – The Fossil Record – The Geographical Distribution of Living Species – Homologous Structures of Living Organisms – Similarities In Early Development 73
Fossil Record Earth is Billions of Years Old n Fossils In Different Layers of Rock (sedimentary Rock Strata) Showed Evidence Of Gradual Change Over Time n 74
75
76
Geographic Distribution of Living Species n Different Animals On Different Continents But Similar Adaptations To Shared Environments 77
Homologous Body Structures n Scientists Noticed Animals With Backbones (Vertebrates) Had Similar Bone Structure n May Differ In Form or Function n Limb Bones Develop In Similar Patterns » Arms, Wings, Legs, Flippers 78
Homologous Structures 79
Homologous Body Structures That Have Different Mature Forms But Develop From The Same Embryonic Tissues n Strong Evidence That All Four. Limbed Animals With Backbones Descended, With Modification, From A Common Ancestor n Help Scientist Group Animals n 80
Homologous Body Structures 81
Homologous Body Structures n Not All Serve Important Functions – Vestigial Organs » Appendix In Man » Legs On Skinks 82
Similarities In Early Development Embryonic Structures Of Different Species Show Significant Similarities n Embryo – early stages of vertebrate development n 83

Evolutionary Time Scales Macroevolution: Long time scale events that create and destroy species. 94
Evolutionary Time Scales Microevolution: Short time scale events (generationto-generation) that change the genotypes and phenotypes of populations 95
Review 96
Darwin's Theory 1. 2. Individual Organisms In Nature Differ From One Another. Some Of This Variation Is Inherited Organisms In Nature Produce More Offspring Than Can Survive, And Many Of These Offspring Do No Reproduce 97
Darwin's Theory 3. 4. Because More Organisms Are Produced Than Can Survive, Members Of Each Species Must Compete For Limited Resources Because Each Organism Is Unique, Each Has Different Advantages & Disadvantages In The Struggle For Existence 98
Darwin's Theory 5. 6. Individuals Best Suited To Their Environment Survive & Reproduce Successfully – Passing Their Traits To Their Offspring. Species Change Over Time. Over Long Periods, Natural Selection Causes Changes That May Eventually Lead To New Species 99
Darwin's Theory 7. 8. Species Alive Today Have Descended With Modifications From Species That Lived In The Past All Organisms On Earth Are United Into A Single Tree Of Life By Common Descent 100
