Daily Review #1 • What were Darwin’s 3 major conclusions about species from his observations? • What did Hutton contribute to our understanding of geology? Lyell?

Malthus • English economist • Population growth patterns • Can’t grow unchecked • Lead to a limiting phenomenon • Effect on Darwin • Not all offspring survive • Which ones survive?
Artificial selection • Plant and animal breeders • Select those that reproduce • Desirable traits show up in offspring • Humans control reproduction • Darwin • Recognized natural variation • Appearance of traits can be manipulated
