Evolution Evolution is change over time. The Theory of Evolution states that all organisms share a single common ancestor and have evolved over time. It also states that this has occurred largely due to changes in environmental conditions that have led to a necessity for organisms to change and adapt or go extinct. Darwin?s Theory of Natural Selection In 1831, Charles Darwin set sail on the HMS Beagle as the ship?s naturalist. His job was to collect biological and geological specimens. After traveling from England across the Atlantic and collecting specimens along the eastern and western coasts of South America, the ship landed in the Galapagos Islands.

Chapter 1- Thinking Critically 1. Phrenology: A theory that claimed bumps on the skull could reveal our mental abilities and our character traits. 2. Historical figures: - John Locke ("blank slate"): Believed that the at birth the mind was a blank slate, and that our brains grew and developed based on our experiences. The blank slate idea was called the ?tabular-raza? - Charles Darwin (evolution/adaptations): survival of the fittest - Wilhelm Wundt (structuralism and ?father? of psychology): Interested in studying people?s mental experiences. He used a method known as ?introspection? which had subjects engage in self-examination and describe their conscious experiences such as thinking feeling and perceiving.

Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: Darwinian View of Life?Lecture Outline Overview: Darwin Introduces a Revolutionary Theory On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Darwin?s book drew a cohesive picture of life by connecting what had once seemed a bewildering array of unrelated facts. Darwin made two major points in The Origin of Species: Today?s organisms descended from ancestral species that were different from modern species. Natural selection provided a mechanism for this evolutionary change. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population can change over time if individuals that possess certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals.

Natural Selection: The biological process by which variations that enhance a populations ability to survive in a particular environment become dominant in a species over very long periods and lead to evolution of a new species. Africa was thought of the origin of all humans because of the large populations of apes even though there was no evidence.

Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution, along with mutation, migration, and genetic drift. Darwin's grand idea of evolution by natural selection is relatively simple but often misunderstood. To find out how it works, imagine a population of beetles: There is variation in traits. For example, some beetles are green and some are brown. There is differential reproduction. Since the environment can't support unlimited population growth, not all individuals get to reproduce to their full potential. In this example, green beetles tend to get eaten by birds and survive to reproduce less often than brown beetles do. There is heredity. The surviving brown beetles have brown baby beetles because this trait has a genetic basis. End result:
