  1. Theory of Evolution:Darwin vs. Lamarck

  2. Texas Horned Lizard • Defense Behavior Adaptations • Its horns are extensions of its cranium and contain true bone. • When threatened it will puff up its body to cause its spiny scales to protrude, which makes it hard to swallow. • Has the ability to squirt an aimed stream of blood from the corners of it’s eyes and sometimes mouth for a distance up to 5 feet.

  3. Objective • Students will be able to identify three scenarios of Darwin and Lamarck’s theory of evolution on a worksheet provided in class. Venn Diagram Same Different Different

  4. Who is Darwin and Lamarck? Charles Darwin Jean-Baptiste Lamarck Aug. 1744-Dec. 1829 French Naturalist. Provided the first truly cohesive theory of evolution. Remembered for his use/disuse theory of evolution. • Feb. 1809-April 1882 • English Naturalist. • Published his theory of evolution in his book On the Origin of Species. • Remembered for his theory of evolution called natural selection.

  5. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution • Organisms that have variation will adapt to their environment and have more offspring. • Offspring are born with their parents’ favorable traits and as they reproduce those traits become more dominant. • Inheritance • Variation

  6. Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution • Changes in an organism are influenced by what the organism wants or needs and then over many generations the offspring are born with these changes. • Individual structures (body parts) of an organism decreases in size by disuse and increases in size when used. • Wants and Needs • Use and Disuse

  7. Darwin and Lamarck agreed that… • Organisms change to work better in their environment. • Organisms have evolved (changed) over time and are still evolving.
