15–1 The Puzzle of Life's Diversity
This variety of living things is called biological diversity.
How did all these different organisms arise? How are they related?
Evolution, or change over time, is the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms.
A scientific theory is a well-supported testable explanation of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world.

Voyage of the Beagle Charles Darwin (born February 12, 1809 in
England) 1831 – set sail on the H.M.S. Beagle

During his travels, Darwin made numerous observations and collected evidence that led him to propose a revolutionary hypothesis about the way life changes over time.
That hypothesis, now supported by a huge body of evidence, has become the theory of evolution.

On The Voyage
Collected plants & animals on land At sea – studied specimens, read,
recorded observations Saw great diversity in the organisms –
enormous numbers of species!

Patterns of Diversity Plants and animals seemed so
well suited to their environments
Impressed by the many ways organisms survive and reproduce
Similar areas on different continents were inhabited by very different animals. Ex: why are there no rabbits on
the Australian grasslands? No kangaroos in England?

Living Organisms and Fossils
Darwin also collected fossils Some fossils looked like organisms that were
still alive Other fossils looked completely different! Darwin wondered:
Why had so many of these species disappeared? How were they related to living species?

The Galápagos Islands 1000 km west of South America (Ecuador) Islands are close together but very different
climates Darwin was fascinated in particular by the land
tortoises and marine iguanas

The shape of a tortoise's shell could be used to identify which island a particular tortoise inhabited.

The Journey Home
Darwin began to wonder if animals living on different islands had once been members of the same species.
these separate species would have evolved from an original South American ancestor species after becoming isolated from one another

Massive, rich fossil record – much older than the current age of the earth beliefs.
James Hutton (1795) – old earth – great earth changes take time
Charles Lyell (1831) – the processes shaping the Earth now are the same ones that shaped the earth in the past Could life change as earth has changed?
15-2 Ideas that shaped Darwin’s thinking
![Page 12: 1 Chapter 15 Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 2 15–1 The Puzzle of Life's Diversity This variety of living things is called biological diversity. How did](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649ebb5503460f94bc3ddf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Jean Baptiste Lamarck 1809 “living things have changed over time” Species descended from other species Lamarck’s theory of evolution:
Tendency toward perfection Use and Disuse Inheritance of Acquired Traits
Why was he wrong? Behavior doesn’t affect the DNA
He was WRONG.

Thomas Malthus
1798 Population growth (if gone unchecked) would
quickly over run the earth Why don’t maple trees cover the earth since
they each release 1000s of seeds? Darwin’s questions:
What causes the deaths of so many? What factors determine which survive and
reproduce?

All species tend to produce more offspring than they can support
Frog eggs
Turtle eggs
Insect eggs

15-3 Darwin presents his case
Worked for years but scared to publish because of religious backlash
1858 – sent an essay by Alfred Russell Wallace summarizing Darwin’s theory of evolution
1859 – Darwin publishes “On the origin of species by means of natural selection”
![Page 16: 1 Chapter 15 Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 2 15–1 The Puzzle of Life's Diversity This variety of living things is called biological diversity. How did](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649ebb5503460f94bc3ddf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

What did Darwin say?
Inherited Variation & Artificial Selection Members of a species vary
Artificial Selection = nature provides the variation and humans select the variations they find useful Examples: fat hog, fast horse, high milk producing
cow Does something in nature select the same way?
![Page 17: 1 Chapter 15 Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 2 15–1 The Puzzle of Life's Diversity This variety of living things is called biological diversity. How did](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649ebb5503460f94bc3ddf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Evolution by Natural Selection
Compared nature to artificial selection
![Page 20: 1 Chapter 15 Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 2 15–1 The Puzzle of Life's Diversity This variety of living things is called biological diversity. How did](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649ebb5503460f94bc3ddf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Struggle for Existence
Members of each species compete for food, space, mates, and other necessities of life
Predators (that are better/faster) catch more prey
Prey (faster, better camouflage) avoid being caught Examples: fast cheetah, small rabbit, stronger
lion, more colorful butterfly

Preying Mantis sunflower
Producing more offspring than can possibly survive thus creating a struggle for existing
resources

Survival of the Fittest
Fitness = being able to survive and reproduce in its specific environment
Fitness results from adaptations Adaptations = inherited characteristics that
improve an organisms chance of survival Successful adaptation better suited to the
environment more fitness

24
Low Fitness organisms die off High Fitness survive + reproduce
Survival of the Fittest!
Natural Selection of most fit organisms!

Nature (the environment) will determine which organism is the
fittest to Survive

26
Natural Selection
Results from NO human intervention, control, or direction
Results in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population
Increases a species’ fitness in the environment (over time!)

27
Descent with Modification
Over large amounts of time… natural selection produces organisms: with different structures establishes different niches occupies different habitats
organisms look different than their ancestors Descent with modification = each living thing
has descended with changes, from other species over time.

Common Ancestors Implies that organisms are all related to one
another. Tiger, panther, cheetah – related Horses, dogs, cats – related farther back Mammals, birds, reptiles, fish – related even
farther back All living things – related!
Single Tree of Life!

The Fossil Record
Fossils = remains of ancient life Different layers of rock were formed at
different times during Earth’s history. Darwin proposed that organisms had
coming into being, lived, and vanished. Life had changed over time!

36
Since Darwin… The number of known fossils has gone up
dramatically! Researchers have discovered many hundreds of
transitional fossils that document various intermediate stages in the evolution of modern species from organisms that are now extinct.
Gaps remain in the fossil records These gaps do not indicate weakness in the
theory of evolution itself. Rather, they point out uncertainties in our understanding of exactly how some species evolved.

Geographic Distribution of Living Species
Darwin wondered about the finches he found in the Galapagos Islands.
Where were they similar but still different? Also.. Slightly different from S. American mainland
species Could the birds have changed as they adapted
to local environments?
=> descended with modification from a common mainland ancestor

Convergent Evolution
Darwin found entirely different species of animals on the continents of South America and Australia.
Similar environments on those continents he sometimes saw different animals that had similar anatomies and behaviors.
The existence of similar but unrelated species was a puzzle to Darwin.

Summary of Darwin's Theory
Individual organisms differ, and some of this variation is heritable.
Organisms produce more offspring than can survive, and many that do survive do not reproduce.
Because more organisms are produced than can survive, they compete for limited resources.
![Page 53: 1 Chapter 15 Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 2 15–1 The Puzzle of Life's Diversity This variety of living things is called biological diversity. How did](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649ebb5503460f94bc3ddf/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Each unique organism has different advantages and disadvantages in the struggle for existence. Individuals best suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully. These organisms pass their heritable traits to their offspring. Other individuals die or leave fewer offspring. This process of natural selection causes species to change over time.
Species alive today are descended with modification from ancestral species that lived in the distant past. This process, by which diverse species evolved from common ancestors, unites all organisms on Earth into a single tree of life.
