Principles of Evolution1) Genetic variety
◦DNA mutations-adds new phenotypes to a population◦Genetic recombination (crossing over) allows for variety
2) Mutation and Environment◦New phenotype either “fits” or doesn’t “fit” with environment◦Those that fit best are more likely to reproduce and survive (natural
selection)
3) New Species Evolve◦Mutations and natural selection result in a new species over
millions of years

Difference between Natural Selection and Evolution:
Natural selection drives evolution

Sequencing Neanderthal DNA1. Why is comparing human DNA to Neanderthal DNA difficult in the lab?
2. How can the bases of DNA change overtime? 3. Where was the sample taken from Pääbo found and how old was it?4. What did the lab results say about the population size of Neanderthals? 5. How many Neanderthals did Paabo sequence and where were they from?6. Was the Neanderthal DNA genetically diverse? 7. How does the DNA differ between modern humans and Neanderthals? 8. What percent of DNA changed after humans split from Neanderthals?
