BI. 8. e Students know how to analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction. Objectives: SWBAT (in regards to human evolution) Explain how natural selection determines the differential survival of groups of organisms. Explain how natural selection determines the differential survival of groups of organisms. Analyze multiple sources of evidence for evolution. Analyze multiple sources of evidence for evolution. Explain how a great diversity of species increase the chance that at least some organisms will survive major changes in the environment Explain how a great diversity of species increase the chance that at least some organisms will survive major changes in the environment Analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction. Analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction.

Humans and great apes shared a common ancestor 5 million years ago Humans and great apes shared a common ancestor 5 million years ago Common ancestor was a knuckle- walker Common ancestor was a knuckle- walker What is Human Evolution? Modern humans have an ancestor that evolved into the humans we have today Modern humans have an ancestor that evolved into the humans we have today Chimpanzees are closely related to humans because they share this ancestor Chimpanzees are closely related to humans because they share this ancestor Morphological Evidence of Shared Ancestry Big brain, relative to body size Big brain, relative to body size More upright posture More upright posture Arm structure (side to side) Arm structure (side to side) Teeth Teeth Binocular vision Binocular vision Opposable thumb Opposable thumb Five fingers and toes Five fingers and toes Molecular Evidence of Shared Ancestry between Chimps and Humans DNA sequences 96-99% identical DNA sequences 96-99% identical DNA sequences code for similar proteins DNA sequences code for similar proteins Both have lots of deletions in their DNA sequences Both have lots of deletions in their DNA sequences Allows opportunities for mutations (evolution)Allows opportunities for mutations (evolution) Shared Behaviors Shared Behaviors Tool usage Tool usage Child rearing Child rearing Social interactions Social interactions Emotions Emotions Delayed sexual maturity Delayed sexual maturity Hunting Hunting BIG BIG IDEA!!! If chimps and humans share a common ancestor then this would suggest that humans ancestor changed over time=evolution!!!! If chimps and humans share a common ancestor then this would suggest that humans ancestor changed over time=evolution!!!! Summary Questions True/False-Humans evolved from monkeys.
