Life has changed over time

LaMarck
   Organisms adapted to
    their environments
      through acquired traits
      change in their life time
          Use & Disuse
           organisms lost parts because they did not use them
           — like the missing eyes & digestive system of the
           tapeworm
          Perfection with Use & Need
           the constant use of an organ leads that organ to
           increase in size — like the muscles of a blacksmith
           or the large ears of a night-flying bat

                                   because they inherited

          small populations of original South American
           finches land on islands

              food successfully in the different environments

Seeing this gradation &

                      one might really fancy that
                   from an original paucity of birds
                           in this archipelago,
                     one species has been taken &

A Reluctant Revolutionary
    Returned to England in 1836
          wrote papers describing his collections
           & observations
          long treatise on barnacles

          draft of his theory of

           species formation in 1844
              instructed his wife to
               publish this essay upon
               his death
              reluctant to publish but
               didn’t want ideas to die
AP Biology     with him
And then came the letter….
   Then, in 1858, Darwin received a letter
   that changed everything…


      Alfred Russel Wallace
      a young naturalist working
      in the East Indies, had
      written a short paper with a
      new idea. He asked Darwin
      to evaluate his ideas and
      pass it along for publication.


AP Biology
The time was ripe for the idea!




                     To Lyell—
                         Your words
                      have come true
                     with a vengeance…
                I never saw a more striking
             coincidence…so all my originality,
                whatever it may amount to,
                      will be smashed.

  1. Lamarck noted how well-adapted organisms were to their environments, and believed that fossils could be understood as less perfect forms which had perished in the struggle for increasing perfection. He explained adaptation as a result of change caused by environmental pressures.
  2. What did Darwin say? What evidence supports Evolution by Natural Selection? What impact did Evolution have on biology?
  3. After graduation Darwin was recommended to be the conversation companion to Captain Robert FitzRoy, preparing the survey ship Beagle for a voyage around the world. FitzRoy chose Darwin because of his education, his similar social class, and similar age as the captain. Darwin noted that the plants and animals of South America were very distinct from those of Europe
  4. The origin of the fauna of the Galapagos, 900 km west of the South American coast, especially puzzled Darwin. On further study after his voyage, Darwin noted that while most of the animal species on the Galapagos lived nowhere else, they resembled species living on the South American mainland. It seemed that the islands had been colonized by plants and animals from the mainland that had then diversified on the different islands
  5. Show Campbell videos!!!
  6. Darwin noted that the plants and animals of South America were very distinct from those of Europe. Organisms from temperate regions of South America were more similar to those from the tropics of South America than to those from temperate regions of Europe. Further, South American fossils more closely resembled modern species from that continent than those from Europe.
  7. Theodosius Dobzhansky: Integrating Genetics and Evolution Theodosius Dobzhansky, a Russian geneticist who moved to the United States, provided laboratory evidence for natural selection and variation where previously there had been only field observation. Dobzhansky's work with Drosophila, or fruit flies, provided new evidence that supported Darwin's theory that natural selection, acting on genetic variation in populations, is a driving force in evolution.
