  1. Interest Grabber Section 15-1 • A Trip Around the World • While on his voyage around the world aboard the H.M.S. Beagle, Charles Darwin spent about one month observing life on the Galápagos Islands. There, he encountered some unique animals, such as finches and tortoises. 1. On a sheet of paper, list five animals that you have encountered in the past two days. 2. How do these animals differ from the finches and tortoises of the Galápagos Islands? (Examine Figures 15–3 and 15–4 in yourtextbook.) 3. Propose a hypothesis to account for the differences between the animals that you observed and the finches and tortoises of the Galápagos Islands.

  5. Interest Grabber Section 15-2 • My, How You’ve Changed! • Prior to the 1800s, life scientists knew that living things changed over generations. They just didn’t know how these changes were brought about. 1. Divide a sheet of paper into two columns and title the first one Inherited Characteristics. Title the second column Acquired Characteristics. In the first column, list the characteristics that you believe you have always had. For example, you may have brown eyes or curly hair. 2. In the second column, list your acquired characteristics. For example, you may have learned how to play a musical instrument. 3. Which of the items in your lists do you think you might pass on to your children? Explain your answer.

  6. Section Outline Section 15-2 • 15–2 Ideas That Shaped Darwin’s Thinking A. An Ancient, Changing Earth 1. Hutton’s Theory of Geological Change 2. Lyell’s Principles of Geology B. Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution 1. Tendency Toward Perfection 2. Use and Disuse 3. Inheritance of Acquired Traits 4. Evaluating Lamarck’s Theory C. Population Growth

  7. Movement of Earth’s Crust Section 15-2 Sea level Sea level Sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers. When part of Earth’s crust is compressed, a bend in a rock forms, tilting the rock layers. As the surface erodes due to water, wind, waves, or glaciers, the older rock surface is exposed. New sediment is then deposited above the exposed older rock surface.

  9. Interest Grabber Section 15-3 • When Is a Flipper a Wing? • All living things are related. Some relationships are easy to see—your pet cat may not roar like a lion, but it clearly resembles one.Other relationships are less obvious.

  10. Interest Grabber continued Section 15-3 • 1. On a sheet of paper, construct a table that has five columns and six rows. In the columns, write the following heads: Animal Group, Example, Legs, Fins, and Tail. Then, place the following animal groups in their own row: Mammal, Bird, Fish, Amphibian, Reptile, and Insect. • 2. Give one example for each group, and then fill in the informationfor that example. For Legs, write in the number of legs that eachanimal has. Do animals with fins have legs? Do animals with wingshave legs? If so, how many? • 3. Can you tell from your table if a fish is more closely related to a birdor to an amphibian? Explain your answer.

The Struggle for Existence 2. Survival of the Fittest 3. Descent With Modification D. Evidence of Evolution 1. The Fossil Record 2. Geographic Distribution of Living Species 3.
