Hutton, Lyell, Lamarck and Malthus
The ideas that shaped Darwin…

Evidence of a Changing Earth
Scientists Hutton and Lyell studied the organisms found in fossils.
The older the fossil, the deeper it was buried
Changes in the appearance of the organisms could be seen between layers.

Lamarck’s Evolution Hypothesis
In 1809, Lamarck proposed that an animal’s behavior could change the traits passed down to their babies.
He thought, the more you use it, the more it grows.
He did not know about how genes were passed down.

Malthus’ Population Growth
Population growth is limited by the resources available, such as food and living space.
Once the food or the space starts to run out, then the growth rate will have to slow and then stop.

Darwin’s Work
![Page 7: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Inherited Variation
Slight mutations in the genetic code happen
Before Darwin, scientists did not think this was important
Darwin claimed that differences matter and can change the direction of a species

Artificial Selection
Nature provides genetic variation
Humans often select for traits that they find most useful.
Example: We like larger, sweeter tomatoes, so we will selectively breed plants for those traits.

Struggle for Existence
Species have to compete for the best food, living space and mates
This drives the selection process

Survival of the Fittest
Organisms with the best adaptations for the environment will survive.
These adaptations are passed down through the genes from parents to babies.
The others will die off. Darwin called this,
“Natural Selection.”

Evidence for Evolution

The Fossil Record
There are many marine life fossils
They saw many species with shells
The shells got increasingly complex, suggesting evolution took place over time

Homologous Body Structures
Same bones, but different uses
Mammal Examples: Human Arm
w/Hand Horse Leg w/Hoof Whale Flipper Bat Wing

Similarities in Embryos

Types of Selection
![Page 16: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Directional Selection
Individuals at one end of the curve are better fitted for the situation, so all shift.
![Page 17: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stabilizing Selection
Individuals in the middle of the curve are best fitted for the situation, so ends drop off.
![Page 18: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Disruptive Selection
Individuals at either extreme are better fitted for the situation than an average individual.
![Page 19: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Genetic Drift
Certain traits many become more common in a population by chance, rather than by a type of purposeful selection.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle
There are 5 was to have a population at equilibrium (where there is no change)
1. Random Mating
2. Large Population
3. No Movement into or out of the population
4. No Mutations
5. No Natural Selection

The Process of Speciation
![Page 22: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Reproductive Isolation
Only individuals of the same species can mate
?
![Page 23: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Behavioral Isolation
Individuals could breed, but their styles of behavior or courtship make them not attracted to one another.
![Page 24: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Geographic Isolation
Individuals could mate, but they are separated by distance
![Page 25: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Temporal Isolation
Individuals could mate, but they naturally mate at different time periods.
![Page 26: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Process for the Evolution of Darwin’s Finches
![Page 27: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How Speciation Occurred…
Founders Arrive: A few finches flew to one of the islands from South America and mated
Separation of Populations: Some of these finches flew to a neighboring island
Changes in Gene Pool: Adapting to new island Reproductive Isolation: Now the finches on the
different islands are too different to mate! Ecological Competition: need food & nests Continued Evolution: natural selection continues

Extinction
Species that cannot adapt to their environment will die out.

Adaptive Radiation
Many species evolve from a single species
![Page 31: NATURAL SELECTION](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813cc9550346895da6726b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Convergent Evolution
Some species look similar
However, they are not closely related genetically
Similar environmental factors cause the species to evolve in similar ways.

Coevolution
The process when two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time
Example: Flowers change to keep attracting the bees needed to pollinate them.
