Regeants Evidence for Evolution
- 1. Evidence for Evolution by Natural Selection Hunting for evolution clues… Elementary, my dear, Darwin! Regents Biology 2006-2007
- 2. Evidence supporting evolution Fossil record shows change over time Anatomical record comparing body structures homology & vestigial structures embryology & development Molecular record comparing protein & DNA sequences Artificial selection human caused evolution Regents Biology
- 3. 1. Fossil record Layers of rock contain fossils new layers cover older ones creates a record over time fossils show a series of organisms have lived on Earth over a long period of time Regents Biology
- 4. Fossils tell a story… the Earth is old Life is old Life on Earth has changed Regents Biology
- 5. Evolution of birds Today’s organisms descended from ancestral species Fossil of Archaeopteryx lived about 150 mya links reptiles & birds Regents Biology
- 6. We found the fossil — no joke! Land Mammal ? e e th r ? re a iate Whe rmed inte sils? fos Complete series of transitional fossils Someone’s idea of a joke! Regents Biology But the joke’s on them!! Ocean Mammal ? ?
- 7. Evolution from sea to land 2006 fossil discovery of early tetrapod 4 limbs Missing link from sea to land animals Regents Biology
- 8. 3. Anatomical record Animals with different structures on the surface But when you look under the skin… It tells an evolutionary story of common ancestors Regents Biology
- 9. Compare the bones The same bones under the skin limbs that perform different functions are built from the same bones How could these very different animals have the same bones? Regents Biology
- 10. Homologous structures Structures that come from the same origin homo- = same -logous = information Forelimbs of human, cats, whales, & bats same structure on the inside same development in embryo different functions on the outside evidence of common ancestor Regents Biology
- 11. But don’t be fooled by these… Analogous structures look similar on the outside same function different structure & development How is a bird like a bug? on the inside different origin no evolutionary relationship Solving a similar problem with a similar solution Regents Biology
- 12. Analogous structures Dolphins: aquatic mammal Fish: aquatic vertebrate both adapted to life in the sea not closely related Watch the tail! Regents Biology
- 13. Convergent evolution 3 groups with wings Does this mean they have a recent common ancestor? They just came up with the NO! same answer! Regents Biology Flight evolved 3 separate times — evolving similar solutions to similar “problems”
- 14. Convergent evolution led to mimicry Why do these pairs look so similar? Monarch male Viceroy male poisonous edible Which is the moth vs. the bee? fly vs. the bee? Regents Biology fly bee moth bee
- 15. Vestigial organs Hind leg bones on whale fossils Why would whales have pelvis & leg bones if they were always sea creatures? Because they used to walk on land! Regents Biology
- 16. Comparative embryology Development of embryo tells an evolutionary story similar structures during development all vertebrate embryos have a “gill pouch” at one stage of development Regents Biology
- 17. 3. Molecular record Comparing DNA & protein structure everyone uses the same genetic code!

- 18. Building “family” trees Closely related species are branches on the tree — coming from a common ancestor Regents Biology
- 19. 4. Artificial selection How do we know natural selection can change a population? we can recreate a similar process “evolution by human selection” “descendants” of wild mustard Regents Biology
- 20. Selective Breeding Humans create the change over time Regents Biology “descendants” of the wolf

- The avian nature of the brain and inner ear of Archaeopteryx (Alonso et al. 2004) - Archaeopteryx, the earliest known flying bird from the Late Jurassic period, exhibits many shared primitive characters with more basal coelurosaurian dinosaurs (the clade including all theropods more bird-like than Allosaurus), such as teeth, a long bony tail and pinnate feathers. However, Archaeopteryx possessed asymmetrical flight feathers on its wings and tail, together with a wing feather arrangement shared with modern birds. This suggests some degree of powered flight capability but, until now, little was understood about the extent to which its brain and special senses were adapted for flight. Alonso et al. (2004) investigated this problem by computed tomography scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction of the braincase of the London specimen of Archaeopteryx. A reconstruction of the braincase and endocasts of the brain and inner ear suggest that Archaeopteryx closely resembled modern birds in the dominance of the sense of vision and in the possession of expanded auditory and spatial sensory perception in the ear. Alonso et al. (2004) concluded that Archaeopteryx had acquired the derived neurological and structural adaptations necessary for flight. An enlarged forebrain suggests that it had also developed enhanced somatosensory integration with these special senses demanded by a lifestyle involving flying ability.
- There are innumerable intermediate & transitional forms Whales as land creatures returning to the water…. Where are the intermediate forms of whale ancestors? Cartoon making fun of this idea. The cartoons disappeared 10-12 years ago when this fossil was found. Ambilocetic natans = “Walking whale who likes to swim” 4-5 intermediate forms all found in last 2 decades Indus River valley in between India & Pakistan.
- The evolution of resistance to insecticides in hundreds of insect species is a classic example of natural selection in action. The results of application of new insecticide are typically encouraging, killing 99% of the insects. However, the effectiveness of the insecticide becomes less effective in subsequent applications. The few survivors from the early applications of the insecticide are those insects with genes that enable them to resist the chemical attack. Only these resistant individuals reproduce, passing on their resistance to their offspring. In each generation the % of insecticide-resistant individuals increases.
