evolution was
Charles Darwin

Who Was Charles Darwin?
While on his voyage around the world
Beagle Charles Darwin
aboard the H.M.S.
____________,
spent about one month observing life on the
________________.
Galápagos Islands
There, he encountered some unique animals,
such as finches
______ and ________.
tortoises

The Galάpagos Islands are close together
climates
but have very different _______.
Some were hot and dry, with
little vegetation.
Others had more rainfall and were
rich in vegetation
Biology by Miller and Levine; Prentice Hall Publishing©2006
Each island had
unique
its own _____
_________
assortment of
plant and animal
species.
After his voyage, Darwin spent a great
deal of time thinking about his findings.
Biology by Miller and Levine; Prentice Hall Publishing©2006
He began to wonder if animals living on
different islands had once been members
same species that had
of the ____________
developed different
_________ characteristics
after becoming isolated
_______ from one
another in different habitats.

Ideas that shaped Darwin’s thinking:
Jean-Baptiste
Lamarck (1809)
___________________________
was one of first scientists
to recognize living things
changed
over time and that
_______________
all species were descended
________ from
other species.
Lamarck published his hypothesis of
Inheritance of Acquired traits
________________________
the year Darwin was born.
The male fiddler crab uses its
front claw to _________mates
and
attract
predators
fight off _____________.
repeated use, the front
Through _________
claw becomes ________.
larger
The fiddler passes on this
acquired characteristic to its
__________
offspring
http://www.geocities.com/arnold_schwarzenegger_pictures/
What’s wrong with Lamarck’s hypothesis?
Lamarck didn’t know about
genes and how traits are
inherited
_______.

whole young adult life, and
then you had children, would
your kids be more muscular?
ACQUIREDtraits can ____

Whales and sharks have a _____
similar body design
different organisms
even though they are very _______
(one is a fish; the other, a mammal)
because they have _________________
independently adapted to
living in a _____
similar environment.
= CONVERGENT EVOLUTION
Whales are closely related to wolves, but
don’t look or act much like them
= divergent evolution
Conclusion:
The pressure of
the environment
drives evolution
Whales are distantly related
to sharks, but look and act more
like them =
convergent evolution
