Fossils
An organism becomes a fossil only if it dies under the right conditions.
Majority of dead plants and animals are consumed by other organisms and leave no trace.
Dead organisms only leave a trace or imprint if they are quickly buried in a bog or at the bottom of a lake/ocean.

Buried in mud or at the bottom of a body of water, the remains of the dead are protected from scavengers, erosion and decay.
Become buried deeply in successive layers of mud
Over time pressure from all these layers of sediment turns the deepest layers into sedimentary rock
After millions of years geologic forces raise the rock into mountains, canyons and reveal fossils

Taxonomy
All organisms are grouped into hierarchies based on their relationships.
Organisms of the same species can breed and produce viable offspring

Binomial nomenclature Genus and species Homo sapiens. Homo means “self”
or “same”, meaning “the same as me” — which, for you, means “human”. Sapiens means “wise”. Homo sapiens means “Wise human”.

Comparative Anatomy
Species descended from a common ancestor may evolve in different directions and still keep some of the same characteristics
Evolutionary scientists compare the body structures of organisms to find clues.
![Page 15: Definition of Evolution the process by which species arise and change over time. The idea that all organisms have descended from common ancestors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5519aac5550346c4608b4899/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Comparative Anatomy
Homologous Structures – similar structures in two or more species that give evidence of a common ancestor. Similar structure Same origin Different in function

Comparative Anatomy
Intermediate forms – successive changes in homologous bone structures provide evidence of evolution.
Also called transitional forms

Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes Thirteen of these genes provide instructions
for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is a process that uses oxygen and simple sugars to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.
The remaining genes provide instructions for making molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Australopithucus afarensis
Lucy Found in Ethiopia in 1974 This the earliest species
of Australopithecus, l ived in about 4 million
and 3 million years ago. brain was about the
same size as chimps 3 feet, 70 lbs

Becoming Human
The researchers also found that the model of locomotion produced in their simulations closely matched a set of fossilized footprints thought to have been left by A. afarensis in Laetoli, Tanzania, some 3.6 million years ago.

Becoming Human
They constructed the computer model using a fossilised A. afarensis skeleton known as "Lucy", recovered from Ethiopia in 1974. The researchers then added virtual muscle to their simulation and used genetic algorithms to "evolve" the optimal walking movement for the creature.

Becoming Human
Australopithicus africanus lived perhaps from 3
million to 1 million years ago, and probably evolved from A. afarensis
had a rounder skull and slightly larger brain
Tooth and jaw design suggest he chewed plant foods, but might also have scavenged meat from the remains of carnivores' kills.

Homo neanderthalensis More Neandertal skeletons
have been found than any other ancient human species.
They lived in Europe and Southwest Asia from at least 130,000 -28,000 years ago.
May have evolved from Homo heidelbergensis in Southern Europe.

protruding jaw, receding forehead, and
weak chin. The average Neanderthal
brain was slightly larger than that of modern humans, but this is probably correlated with larger body size in general.
May have been a different species than Homo sapiens.

The skulls of this species share features with modern Homo sapiens.
