Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
• Evolution, or change over time, cumulative changes in a group of organisms over time
• A scientific theory is a well-supported testable explanation of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world.

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, 1809• One Of First Scientists To
Understand That Change Occurs Over Time
• Stated that Changes Are Adaptations To Environment acquired in an organism’s lifetime
• Said acquired changes were passed to offspring

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Idea called Law of Use and Disuse
• If a body part were used, it got stronger
• If body part NOT used, it deteriorated

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics• Proposed That By Selective Use Or Disuse Of
Organs, Organisms Acquired Or Lost Certain Traits During Their Lifetime
• These Traits Could Then Be Passed On To Their Offspring
• Over Time This Led To New Species

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Use & Disuse - Organisms Could Change The Size Or Shape Of Organs By Using Them Or Not Using Them
• Blacksmiths & Their Sons (muscular arms)
• Giraffe’s Necks Longer from stretching)

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Inheritance Of Acquired Traits– Traits Acquired During Ones Lifetime Would Be
Passed To Offspring
Clipped ears of dogs could be passed to offspring!

Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Tendency Toward Perfection• Organisms Are Continually Changing and
Acquiring Features That Help Them Live More Successfully In Their Environment
• Example: Bird Ancestors Desired To Fly So They Tried Until Wings Developed

Lamarck’s Mistakes
• Lamarck Did NOT Know how traits were inherited (Traits are passed through genes)
• Genes Are NOT Changed By Activities In Life
• Change Through Mutation Occurs Before An Organism Is Born

where the available food was different (seeds, nuts, berries, insects…)
• Finches had different types of beaks adapted to their type of food gathering

Common Descent with Modification
• Darwin proposed that organisms descended from common ancestors
• Idea that organisms change with time, diverging from a common form
• Caused evolution of new species

Natural Selection• Driving force(mechanism)
for evolution• During the struggle for
resources, strongest survive & reproduce
• Idea that at least some of the differences between individuals, which impact their survival and fertility, are inheritable

29
Evolution By Natural Selection Concepts• Variation(Individuals in a population differ from
one another)• Overproduction-(More offspring are produced that
can survive.)• The Struggle for Existence (compete for food,
mates, space, water, etc.)• Survival of the Fittest (strongest able to survive
and reproduce)
Descent with Modification (new species arise from common ancestor replacing less fit species)

Survival of the Fittest
• Fitness– Ability of an Individual To Survive &
Reproduce• Adaptation– Inherited Characteristic That Increases an
Organisms Chance for Survival

Survival of the Fittest
• Adaptations Can Be:–Physical• Speed, Camouflage, Claws, Quills, etc.
–Behavioral• Solitary, Herds, Packs, Activity, etc.

• Evolution is the slow , gradual change in a population of organisms over time

Darwin’s Observations
• Left unchecked, the number of organisms of each species will increase exponentially, generation to generation
• In nature, populations tend to remain stable in size
• Environmental resources are limited

Darwin’s Conclusion• Production of more
individuals than can be supported by the environment leads to a struggle for existence among individuals
• Only a fraction of offspring survive each generation
• Survival of the Fittest

Darwin’s Observations• Individuals of a
population vary extensively in their characteristics with no two individuals being exactly alike.
• Much of this variation between individuals is inheritable.
