  1. 15.3 – Darwin Presents His Case

  2. After Darwin’s journeys he wrote and published a book called On the Origin of Species • In this book he proposed his thoughts on how evolution happened called natural selection Darwin’s Publication

  3. Natural Variation vs Artificial Selection

  4. Darwin proposed that as populations grew that there would be a struggle for existence • A key factor in the above would be survival of the fittest • Successful adaptions enable organisms to be better suited for environment • Those adaptations are then passed on to next generations • Those that are adapted best for their environment will have more offspring and those that are not will either die or have few offspring • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS1tEnfkk6M • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPbWJPsBPdA&feature=fvsr Evolution by Natural Selection

  5. Darwin proposed that over long periods of time organisms developed different structures to adapt to different environments • As a result species today look different from their ancestors • Common Descent • All species-living and extinct-were derived from same ancestors Descent with Modification
