FINAL
Darwin’s Six Points 100Darwin’s Six Points 100
This part of Darwin’s theory of Evolution shows this example: differences for Homo sapiens
(humans) can be exact size or shape of body, strength in running, or resistance to disease.
Variation
Darwin’s Six Points 200Darwin’s Six Points 200
The part of Darwin’s theory of Evolution that explains that living space and food are limited so offspring from each generation must work against themselves in order
to live.
Competition
Darwin’s Six Points 300Darwin’s Six Points 300
This point of Darwin’s theory of Evolution is any kind of inherited trait that improves an organisms chance of
survival and reproduction in a given environment.
Adaptation
Darwin’s Six Points 400Darwin’s Six Points 400
This part of Darwin’s theory of Evolution explains that most species produce far more offspring than
are needed to maintain the population.
Overproduction
Darwin’s Six Points 500Darwin’s Six Points 500
One of Darwin’s six points, describing the formation of a new species after many, many
generations of passing on an inherited trait that fits a niche well.
Speciation
Terms 100Terms 100
Considered the common ancestor to all life on earth.
Bacteria or Prokaryotes
Terms 200Terms 200
The idea that unrelated species evolve similar traits due to occupying
similar niches
Convergent Evolution
Terms 300Terms 300
Selam is of this species
Australopithecus afarensis
Terms 400Terms 400
An infectious agent credited for being the worst at reproducing exact copies of
itself, and therefore evolves rapidly
HIV
Terms 500Terms 500
A hominid trait that increased over time and can be supported by data
Brain case
Evidence for Change 100Evidence for Change 100
The branch of science that studies fossils of all living organisms, Pangea, and the movement of tectonic plates.
Paleontology
Evidence for Change 200Evidence for Change 200
The branch of science that studies hominid and human evolution through the analysis of fossils.
Physical Anthropology
Evidence for Change 300Evidence for Change 300
Strata
The name of the layers of the earth examined by Paleontologists
Evidence for Change 400Evidence for Change 400
Carbon Dating or Radioactive Dating
A process used by Paleontologists to determine the actual age of a fossil.
Evidence for Change 500Evidence for Change 500
Name three of the hominids studied by the Physical Anthropologists
(give 2-part Latin names)
Homo sapiens sapiens, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, Homo erectus, Australopithecus
boisei, Australopithecus afarensis
Essays 100Essays 100
The scientific theory that states that all living things came from a common
ancestor and have changed across time.
Evolution
Essays 200Essays 200
This man is acknowledged for his contributions to the theory of evolution
but did not provide evidence in his research in as much detail as Darwin.
Alfred Russell Wallace
DAILY DOUBLE - Essays 300DAILY DOUBLE - Essays 300
This is an explanation of natural phenomena that has been extensively
tested, is supported by plenty of evidence, and is accepted by the large
scientific community.

Where, geographically, Darwin spent most of his travels studying
finches?

This was the name of the boat Darwin and his crew used to sail
around the world.
HMS Beagle
Grab Bag 100Grab Bag 100
An organism studied before, during, and after the industrial revolution in England. Observations were made of its physical
characteristics and it is a model organism for teaching about Natural Selection.

This was the name of Darwin’s first published work.
On the Origin of Species
Natural selection is driven by this; it is what constantly changes, causing
the evolution of species.
Environment in which an organism lives.
