HISTORY OF
EVOLUTIONARY
THOUGHT
It states that the Earth
has been shaped by
sudden, often
unpredicted, events
that are short-lived but
impactful.
(Werner/Currier)
The idea that Earth has
always changed in
uniform ways and that
the present is the key to
the past.
(Hutton/Lyell)
It Is the idea that living
things are created and
remain unchanged
since the beginning.
WHERE DO
I BELONG?
Directions: Using the word bank, fill in the graphic
organizer below.
• He is a French naturalist that
made observations of fossils
and existing organisms.
• In 1809, Lamarck proposed
that organisms evolved in
response to their
environment.
• He saw pieces of evidence
that organisms had changed
through time.
• His observations were based
on two basic facts:
a) fossil records showed that
organisms in the past were
different from those living
today, and
b) organisms are well-adapted
to their environment.
Lamarck believed that
organisms change
because they need to.
Lamarck further
explained that organisms
developed specialized
characteristics by the use
and disuse of organs.
Lamarck explained that
an animal developed
these adaptations as
acquired traits, and
these traits are passed
on from parents to
offspring.
DISPROVING
• He is a an English naturalist
• Darwin believed that organisms
evolved from common ancestors,
they are all related to one
another no matter how different
they are.
• He came up with similar idea –
that all organisms reproduce and
increase in number, compete for
resources, and struggle for their
existence.
• He conceived the idea that
organisms with favorable traits
would be better able to survive
and reproduce than organisms
with unfavorable traits. This
process is called Natural
Selection.
• Darwin presented his theory of
evolution based on natural
selection.
Darwin’s Theory can be
summarized into six main points:
1. Species overproduction
2. Competition
3. Variation
4. Adaptation
5. Natural Selection
6. Speciation
Organism tend to over
reproduce
It is a struggle for
existence and the
survival of the fittest.
There is great variability
within populations or
organisms. No two
individuals are the
same.
Any kind of inherited
trait that improves an
organism's chances of
survival and
reproduction is a form of
adaptation.
The environment selects
organisms that survived
to be the parents of the
succeeding
generations.
Favorable adaptations
gradually accumulate
in the species and
unfavorable ones
disappear.
