Evidence supporting evolution Fossil record
shows change over time
Anatomical record comparing body structures
homology & vestigial structures embryology & development
Molecular record comparing protein & DNA
sequences
Artificial selection human caused evolution

1. Fossil record Layers of rock contain fossils
new layers cover older ones creates a record over time
fossils show a series of organisms have lived on Earth over a long period of time

Someone’s idea of a joke!
But the joke’s on them!!
Complete seriesof transitional

We found the fossil — no joke!

Compare the bones The same bones under the skin
limbs that perform different functions are built from the same bones
How could thesevery different animals
have the same bones?
![Page 10: 2006-2007 Evidence for Evolution by Natural Selection Hunting for evolution clues… Elementary, my dear, Darwin!](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e5f5503460f94b5a08a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Homologous structures Structures that come from the same origin
homo- = same -logous = information
Forelimbs of human, cats, whales, & bats same structure
on the inside same development in embryo different functions
on the outside evidence of common ancestor
![Page 11: 2006-2007 Evidence for Evolution by Natural Selection Hunting for evolution clues… Elementary, my dear, Darwin!](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e5f5503460f94b5a08a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But don’t be fooled by these…
Analogous structures look similar
on the outside same function different structure & development
on the inside different origin no evolutionary relationship
Solving a similar problem with a similar solutionSolving a similar problem with a similar solution
How is a birdlike a bug?

Analogous structures Dolphins: aquatic mammal Fish: aquatic vertebrate
both adapted to life in the sea
not closely related

Vestigial organs Structures on modern animals that have
no function remains of structures that were functional
in ancestors evidence of change over time
some snakes & whales have pelvis bones & leg bones of walking ancestors
eyes on blind cave fish

Vestigial organs Hind leg bones on whale fossils
Why would whales have pelvis & leg bones if they were always sea creatures?
Why would whales have pelvis & leg bones if they were always sea creatures?
Because they used to
walk on land!

Convergent evolution 3 groups with wings
Does this mean they have a recent common ancestor?
Flight evolved 3 separate times — evolving similar solutions to similar “problems”
Flight evolved 3 separate times — evolving similar solutions to similar “problems”
NO!
They justcame up with the
same answer!

Comparative embryology Development of embryo tells an
evolutionary story similar structures during development
all vertebrate embryos have a “gill pouch” at one stage of development all vertebrate embryos have a “gill pouch” at one stage of development

I liked breeding pigeons!

Insecticide resistance Spray the field, but…
insecticide didn’t kill all individuals variation
resistant survivors reproduce
resistance is inherited insecticide becomes
less & less effective

On average, two humans differ by 0.1% (1 in 1000 bp). Is race a genetic reality?
NO: ~90% of genetic variation occurs within any single "race". LOTS OF OVERLAP
YES: only 10% of the variation can be explained by Asian, African, or European origin.
