  1. HISTORY The Beagle Charles Darwin 1831 Origin of Species 1859

  2. Galapagos Islands

  3. Volcanic Islands Age? Temperature of Lava? 4.2 million years (+/- 1.8) 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F)

  4. Diversity of SPECIES

  5. Most Famous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fqrDShlMM

  6. NO CHANGE will occur Gene frequencies will remain the same from generation to generation as long as 5 conditions are kept in a population. Hardy-Weinberg Law

  7. Same Species? • St Bernard and Chihuahua • St Bernard and Wolf • Gorilla and Chimp • Gorilla and YOU • European Human and African Human • Horse and Cow • Horse and Donkey • Horse and Mule • Mule and Donkey • Ground Finch of Galapagos and Finch of Ecuador

  8. Same Species? Yes • St Bernard and Chihuahua • St Bernard and Wolf • Gorilla and Chimp • Gorilla and YOU • European Human and African Human • Horse and Cow • Horse and Donkey • Horse and Mule • Mule and Donkey • Ground Finch of Galapagos and Finch of Ecuador No No No Yes No No No No No

  10. SPECIES? A group of organisms with similar traits that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

  11. POPULATION? A group of organisms of the same species in a certain area at a certain time.

  12. Same Species? Same Population? Chukar partridge in Mandan, North Dakota in 2012 and Chukar partridge in Elko, NV in 2012

  13. Same Species? Same Population? Chukar partridge in Elko, NV in 2011 and Chukar partridge in Elko, NV in 2012

  14. Hardy-Weinberg Law -assumptions- • No MUTATION • No MIGRATION • RANDOM MATING • POPULATION is LARGE • No GENOTYPE has a better chance at surviving and passing on their genes than another.

  15. Natural Selection • The mechanism for Evolution • The best traits in a population survive and are passed-on to the next generation. • Must be variation present.

  16. Areas of Evidence that support the Theory of Evolution: • GEOLOGIC: fossils, strata, etc. • RADIOACTIVE DATING • STRUCTURAL: homologous structures, etc. • MOLECULAR • DEVELOPMENTAL
