Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people?
• Some Christians view the Bible as scientifically accurate regarding Earth History
• Some Christians believe they know how much time has elapsed since the creation of the Earth
• Some people interpret the Bible in a manner that makes it conflict with the findings of science
• Some persons fail to distinguish between evolution, the origin of life on Earth, and Common Descent

What is evolution?
• Evolution – A change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time (p. 297)
• Evolution – Change over time in the characteristics of a population (p. 278)

Did you know…
…the term “evolution” is conflated with other concepts?
• The origin of the universe
• The origin of the 1st life form
• Common descent of species

Where did the concept of evolution come from? (p. 278-280)
1766 – Carolus Linnaeus“Species are the work of time”; “It is impossible to doubt, that there are new species produced by hybridization”; fossils not the result of a global flood
1778 - Georges LeClerc
proposed evolution, but no mechanism (theory); Modern species (are) conceived by nature and produced by time”
1823 - Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire “It is not repugnant to reason, that is to physiological principles, that the crocodiles of the present epoch could be descended through an uninterrupted succession from the antediluvian species” (Descent with modification)

Catastrophism vs. uniformitarianism (p. 280)
Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) – Catastrophism (major changes in earth’s crust result from geological catastrophes)
J. Hutton (1785) & C. Lyell (1830) – Uniformitarianism (past geological events can be explained by current geological processes)
“It is by faithfully weighing evidence, without regard to preconceived notions, by earnestly and patiently searching for what is true, that we have attained our dignity…”
Charles Lyell, 1872

Where did the concept of evolution come from?
Charles Darwin & Alfred Wallace (p. 281-282), 1858 – Evolution by the mechanism of natural selection (theory to explain the fact of evolutionary change)
![Page 23: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How does evolution occur? (p. 288-289)
Theory of evolution by natural selection depends on 4 postulates
1. Populations vary2. Traits are inherited3. Some individuals fail to survive and
reproduce4. Reproductive success is not random
-reproductive success depends on one’s characteristics
![Page 24: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Evolution occurs when…
• A characteristic in a species is genetic
• Genetic variation exists for the gene(s) involved in the characteristic
• Selective pressure exists which confers a survival advantage to some individuals
![Page 25: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Does genetic variation exist within a species?
![Page 26: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Does some genetic variation confer a survival advantage in a competitive environment?
![Page 27: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Alleles conferring a survival advantage will be maintained in a population
Sickle cell allele frequency is higher in descendants of central Africa (why?)
![Page 28: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Even potentially harmful genetic variation may be adaptive in certain environments
Those with 2 sickle cell alleles have a 1/5 chance of surviving to reproductive age (will have sickle cell anemia)
Those with 1 sickle cell allele (heterozygous) have a 25% better chance of survival in a malaria environment

Genetic variation is produced by gene mutations (p. 298)
![Page 31: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mutations, natural selection, and evolution (p. 299)
• Mutations are random
• Mutations do not occur in response to natural selection
• The process of evolution requires mutations
![Page 32: Chapter 14, 15 & 16 – Evolution Why is the concept of evolution controversial to some people? What is evolution? Where did the concept of evolution come](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e2a5503460f94b186dc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Evolution means…
• The gene pool (p. 297) of a population (frequency of alleles) changes over time as a consequence of selective pressures
• As the gene pool changes, so does the frequency of the characteristics influenced by the alleles selected for/against

Evolution is a change in allele frequencies in a population over time (p. 297)
= SS or Ss (susceptible to insecticide)
= ss (resistant to insecticide)
90% susceptible; 10% resistant
Survivors: 40% susceptible (Ss); 60% resistant (ss)
Next generation: 25% susceptible; 75% resistant

Changes within an individual is not evolution

“Chromosome 2 is unique to the human lineage of evolution, having emerged as a result of head-to-head fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes that remained separate in other primates. The precise fusion site has been located in 2q13–2q14.1 (ref. 2; hg 16:114455823 – 114455838), where our analysis confirmed the presence of multiple subtelomeric duplications to chromosomes 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 19, 21 and 22 (Fig. 3; Supplementary Fig. 3a, region A). During the formation of human chromosome 2, one of the two centromeres became inactivated (2q21, which corresponds to the centromere from chimp chromosome 13) and the centromeric structure quickly deterioriated (42).”
