=__**EVOLUTION**__=
 * Evolution is the change in organisums thought a very long time.

=
The early stages of life were based on that life is fixed or permanent. These ideas came from religion, the creation story of how God created life in seven days. This theory was the main one because there was no technoligy at that time, since religion had its own theory. It gave people of an understanding of how life became on eath. The theory of evolution was rediculous to most people because to the religious point of view that did not exist.======

=﻿**ADAPTATION**=
 * Is changing characteristics to sarvive in a different type of environment
 * The change in the animal will pass of to its offspring
 * Animals will adapt if forced by nature or man
 * A great example of this would be a kangraoo. It developed its long legs to run away from its predators.

=**LAMARCK**=
 * ======Propsed that animals must change overtime. Some animals have similar features.======
 * He came up with the theory of evolution.
 * Most offspring inherit traits from parents throgh DNA and pass it down
 * Though the procces of reproduction of different species, physical features are shown on that new species.

=﻿**VOYAGE OF THE BEGAL 1831**= The main misson was to map out certain areas of the world.
 * Charles Darwin was on the Begal to study plants and animals on the voyage [[image:http://bio4esobil2010.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/article-1084712-026e5d5c000005dc-735_468x286.jpg width="395" height="245" align="right"]]
 * 22 years old
 * Kept extensive journals though the whole trip and recorded everything
 * Discovered that species change to their adapting enviorment

=﻿**DARWINS ORIGIN SPECIS**= Many animals are descendants from other species
 * Most animals are descendants of ancestrial species
 * They have adapted to environments

=Natural Selection= It is that the stronger will survive and the weaker will not.

=﻿**Evidence of Evolution**= The fossil records keep remains or makings of organisms, and is easier to identify. Most fossils are found in the sedementry rock, which is deep in the ground. Also, the fossil record is the collection of fossil remains.

=﻿Geographic Distribution=
 * All the continents were connected at one point.
 * For example mammals in the South American tropics have similarities in the African tropics
 * Geographic distribution was a clue of which animals evolve

=Similarities in Structure=
 * The for limbs of all mammals consist of the same skeletal parts
 * Homogenous structures all originaly functioned one way from ancestrial specis
 * Vestigal stuctures were important in ancestrial mammals put modern mammals do not have this

=Similarties in development=
 * Many organisms have similar embryos
 * Also similar stages of development
 * Embrios also show that all mammals have a common ancester

=Molecular Biology=
 * If two species have similar genes they might be related
 * Such as humans an primates have a similar DNA squence [[image:http://nearemmaus.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/evolution.jpg width="313" height="208" align="right"]]

=NATURAL SELECTION IN EVOLUTION= =Theory of Natural Selection=
 * Population is a group of individuals in the same area
 * Some individuals will change overtime do to Natural Selection
 * More species mean more resources and the offspring of the animals fewer of the offsping would survive do natural selection. This also applies to members of the same species

=﻿**Artificial Selection**=
 * Selective breeding of animals and plants.
 * Humans have modified species over thousands of years
 * This produced a lot of change in a short period of time

=Pesticides= There are many different chemicals used to get rid of pesticides. Overtime pesticides and other incects become resistant to the chemical. Resistant individuals survive and reproduce more resistant insects. =**DIVERSITY OF LIFE**= =What is a species?=
 * It is a living organism.
 * The main concept of a species is the reproduction of species within a group
 * One species interbreeding can not interbreed with members of another species unless it is asexual.

=﻿From Microevolution to Macroevlution=
 * Microevolution is the change in allel frequency
 * Macroevolution is dramatic change in fossil record

=Reproductive barriers bettween species=
 * Reproductive isolation a barrior which does not allow two species from interbreeding.
 * Also two different species might have different breeding seasons.

=**QUESTIONS**=
 * 1) What was Darwins mission on the Begal
 * 2) How old was Darwin on his voyege
 * 3) What is Artifical selection
 * 4) An example of similaritres in structures
 * 5) The differnce bettween Micro and Macro
 * 6) What is a species
 * 7) True or False can two differnt species imbreed with one another
 * 8) Yes or No were all the continets conected at one point
 * 9) What is the prupuse of the fossil recored
 * 10) Who first propused that animals change overtime
