ORGANIC EVOLUTION: THE THEORY AND ITS SUPPORTING EVIDENCE GEOL 106 Chapter 18
Introduction In 1831 Charles Darwin boarded the Beagle, a research vessel exploring the oceans for Great Britain. Darwin’s observations on the Galapagos Islands countered the beliefs of his day. He observed that animals descend (with modification) from ancestral species. Darwin’s finches drawings

Introduction Fig. 18.1a, p. 451 Today, this is known as the theory of evolution . (Recall that in science, a theory is NOT a hunch or a guess.) Evolution is fundamental to the study of paleontology , the life history revealed in fossils.
Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? Organic evolution does NOT explain the origin of life on Earth. This is abiogenesis (Chapter 19.7). Organic evolution describes how living organisms have changed since life first appeared on Earth. Although some ancient Greeks and Medieval European theologians considered evolution, before the 18th century, the ideas of Aristotle and the creation accounts in the Book of Genesis dominated European culture.
Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? Beginning in the 18th century, naturalists sought evidence for Genesis, but instead found evidence for evolution. Hutton and others concluded that the Earth was far older than the creation date proposed by Bishop Ussher. Cuvier demonstrated that many plants and animals are now extinct.

Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck (1744-1829) and His Ideas on Evolution Lamarck ‘s proposal of inheritance of acquired characteristics was the first formal explanation for the theory of evolution to be taken seriously. This idea states that new characteristics arise in organisms because of their needs and, somehow, these characteristics are passed on to their descendants.
Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck (1744-1829) and His Ideas on Evolution In an ancestral population of short-necked giraffes, neck-stretching to browse in trees results in longer necks, which are then inherited by their offspring. Lamarck's ideas were finally discredited with the discovery of genes , which cannot be naturally altered by any effort of an organism during its lifetime.
Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? The Contributions of Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace In 1859, Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published their views on evolution and proposed natural selection as the mechanism for evolutionary change. Fig. 18.2, p. 432

Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? Natural Selection - What Is Its Significance? Organisms in all populations possess heritable variations , such as size, speed, agility, color, etc. Some variations are more favorable than others; that is, some variant types have a competitive edge in acquiring resources and/or avoiding predators. Those with favorable variations are more likely to survive to reproductive maturity and pass on their favorable variations.
Organic Evolution: What Does ItMean? Natural Selection - What Is Its Significance? " Survival of the fittest " is misleading or wrong In some cases, the smallest and easiest to conceal survive, whereas the biggest, strongest and fastest do not. Having favorable variations does not guarantee that an individual will live long enough to reproduce. However, in a population of perhaps thousands, those with favorable variations are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Question: What is the basis of survival of a Species according to the Natural Selection? A. Survival of the fittest B. Better adaptation technique to a given set of environmental conditions C. only the biggest, strongest and fastest are likely to survive D. only the smallest, weakest and slowest are likely to survive
Mendel and the Birth of Genetics Mendel’s Experiments Gregor Mendel’s breeding experiments with garden peas provided some of the answers regarding how variation is maintained and passed on.
Mendel and the Birth of Genetics Genes and Chromosomes Genes are the hereditary determinants in all organisms. Genetic information is carried in the chromosomes of cells, but only the genes in the chromosomes of sex cells are inheritable. Sperm and eggs form by meiosis . A fertilized egg grows by mitosis .

The Modern View of Organic Evolution Development of Neo-Darwinism in the 20th Century Genetics was incorporated into the theory of evolution, including the chromosome theory of inheritance and mutations. Lamarck's ideas were discredited; populations rather than individuals evolve Importance of natural selection reaffirmed New ideas continue to develop on speciation , genetic drift , and other issues

The Modern View of Organic Evolution What Brings About Variation? Chromosomal mutation - affects large segment of a chromosome Point mutation - a change in a gene Mutations are random and may be harmful, beneficialor neutral. Environment may determine whether a mutation is harmful or not. Mutations may result from chemicals, radiation, and extreme temperatures.

The Modern View of Organic Evolution What Brings About Variation? Mutagens are agents that bring about higher mutation rates, example: chemicals, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and extreme temperature. Some mutations are spontaneous and have no known mutagen. Sexual reproduction and mutations account for most variations in populations. Genetic drift , a random change in the genetic makeup of a population due to chance, may also be important.

The Modern View of Organic Evolution Allopatric speciation Sympatric Speciation Speciation occurs because a given group has been separated from the parent group, usually because of geographic separation as time goes by. Speciation occurs even though the two groups are still living in the same area.

The Modern View of Organic Evolution Speciation and the Rate of Evolution Phyletic gradualism - Gradual accumulation of minor changes brings about a new species Punctuated equilibrium - Little or no change in a species occurs during most of its history, but evolution to a new species occurs rapidly, perhaps in only a few thousand years. Punctuated equilibrium is controversial among biologists.

The Modern View of Organic Evolution Mosaic Evolution is a concept of organisms reflecting a long and varied evolution. Recently evolved characteristics, as well as some features of its ancestors. An example is the oldest known bird with its feathers and fused clavicle , characteristics of the oldest bird. However, many features of the bird are more like those of small carnivorous dinosaurs that predated the bird. Fig. 22.28, p. 601

The Modern View of Evolution Extinctions 99% of all species are now extinct. Background extinctions take place continually. Mass extinctions are times of accelerated extinction rates and losses in Earth’s biologic diversity . Mass extinctions have occurred several times in the Earth’s history and form the basis of the geologic time scale. Likewise, new species are constantly arising, often to fill niches left by extinct species.

Evidence Supporting EvolutionaryTheory In science, a theory is not a guess. It is a well-supported and well- tested generalization that explains a set of observations. A prediction is, not necessarily a future event, but rather an outcome that we would expect to be true if the theory is correct. Table 18.1, p. 464

Evidence Supporting EvolutionaryTheory The theory of evolution is continuously tested. Evolution is truly scientific because we are allowed to search deeply and find observations and experiments that could either support or falsify it. If the experiment fails, we must modify our theory.
