  2. Summary of Ideas Proposed by these Chaps Curvier’sCatastrophism Lyell’s UNIFORMITARIANISM Lamarck’s Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics

  3. Georges Cuvier

  4. Georges Cuvier – developed paleontology

  5. The study of life through ancient fossils Georges Cuvier – developed paleontology

  6. How can I explain how species go extinct in an area and how new ones repopulate the area?

  7. How can I explain how species go extinct in an area and how new ones repopulate the area? .. and that all this happened in 6000 years.

  8. How can I explain how species go extinct in an area and how new ones repopulate the area? .. and that all this happened in 6000 years. Curvier’sCatastrophism … the idea that catastrophes such as floods, diseases, and droughts periodically destroyed species living in a particular region, allowing species from neighbouring regions to repopulate the area

  9. Charles Lyell says .. I don’t think that’s right

  10. Uniformitarianism: Lyell’s theory that geological processes operated at the same rates in the past as they do today

  11. Uniformitarianism: Lyell’s theory that geological processes operated at the same rates in the past as they do today • Slow changes occurred in the past … Slow changes occur today too …

  12. Uniformitarianism: Lyell’s theory that geological processes operated at the same rates in the past as they do today • Slow changes occurred in the past … Slow changes occur today too … • … and the Earth is probably older than 6000 years

  13. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck • Hmm.. If changes happen slowly…then animals would become progressively better adapted to their environments

  14. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck • Hmm.. If changes happen slowly…then animals would become progressively better adapted to their environments

  15. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck • Hmm.. If changes happen slowly…then animals would become progressively better adapted to their environments

  16. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck • Hmm.. If changes happen slowly…then animals would become progressively better adapted to their environments • Proposed the following. Inheritance of acquired characteristics- the idea that characteristics acquired during an organism’s lifetime can be passed on to its offspring

  17. Lamarck suggested that body parts not used would eventually disappear. This idea is called use and disuse.

  18. Summary of Ideas Proposed by these Chaps Curvier’sCatastrophism Lyell’s UNIFORMITARIANISM Lamarck’s Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics

  19. Charles Darwin Enters the Scene … • Okay I agree with the idea that there are slow changes .. And these slow changes occur in populationsThe rest of you are wrong. Welcome Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
