Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life

1. Place notebooks on shelf • IFOD • Polar bears are invisible to infrared. Their hair is hollow. • I will scream sometime during this chapter  Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life

2. Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life • What do you know about evolution? • What is evolution? • Gradual heritable change over time • What is paleontology? • Study of fossils • Allows for relative dating – older or younger – layer found in

3. Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life • What do you know about evolution? • What is evolution? • What is paleontology? • What was Lamarck’s view? • Inheritance of acquired characteristics • Evolution within an organism’s lifetime – use & disuse • Examples – Blacksmith, giraffe • A twist…..epigenetic inheritance supports Lamarck • What was Darwin’s view? • Descent with modification – tree of life • REPRODUCTION of the fittest • not SOTF • Story time…

6. (a) Cactus eater. The long,sharp beak of the cactusground finch (Geospizascandens) helps it tearand eat cactus flowersand pulp. (c) Seed eater. The large groundfinch (Geospiza magnirostris)has a large beak adapted forcracking seeds that fall fromplants to the ground. (b) Insect eater. The green warbler finch (Certhidea olivacea) uses itsnarrow, pointed beak to grasp insects. Figure 22.6 Beak variation in Galápagos finches
