Early Ideas On Earth’s Organisms
• Aristotle believed species were fixed creations arranged by their complexity
• Idea lasted 2000 years

Early Ideas On Earth’s Organisms
• Linnaeus – 1st to group similar organisms and assign them Latin names
• Two word name (Genus species)
• Known as Binomial nomenclature

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
![Page 9: Evolution - Biologychalmersbiology.weebly.com/.../5/7/1/5571931/introduction_to_evolution.pdf · 1 Evolution Diversity of Life 2 “Nothing in biology makes sense EXCEPT in the light](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081405/5f0c59ea7e708231d434f893/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

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 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

The Galapagos Islands
• Finches on the islands resembled a mainland finch
• More types of finches appeared on the islands where the available food was different (seeds, nuts, berries, insects…)
• Finches had different types of beaks adapted to their type of food gathering

Definition
• Evolution is the slow , gradual change in a population of organisms over time
![Page 25: Evolution - Biologychalmersbiology.weebly.com/.../5/7/1/5571931/introduction_to_evolution.pdf · 1 Evolution Diversity of Life 2 “Nothing in biology makes sense EXCEPT in the light](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081405/5f0c59ea7e708231d434f893/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
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
![Page 26: Evolution - Biologychalmersbiology.weebly.com/.../5/7/1/5571931/introduction_to_evolution.pdf · 1 Evolution Diversity of Life 2 “Nothing in biology makes sense EXCEPT in the light](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081405/5f0c59ea7e708231d434f893/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

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

27
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.

•The unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce leads to a gradual change in a population, with favorable characteristics accumulating over generations (natural selection) •New species evolve
