Evolutionary HistoryEvolutionary History• Evolution does not occur in a vacuum; it depends on:
* Geology – distribution of land and water
* Climate – temperature, precipitation, latitude, ocean currents
* Chemistry – water, atmosphere, soil
* Other organisms• Predation, parasitism, mutualism, competition, habitat changes
* Fate• Extraterrestrial (and earth-bound) caused extinction events
• Probabilities of dispersal, gene change, etc.
* Mechanisms of evolutionary change

Time - Geological time periodsTime - Geological time periods
• Hierarchical units of geological time
• Defined by changes in fossils
• Eras named after the animal fossils
• Extinctions occur at boundaries

Geological Geological timetime
• Know* eras (named after animal
life as fossilized)* absolute timing of eras* relative timing within
the eras of important events (see our timeline)
* you don’t need to remember the periods, but if you want to, learn them
• Mnemonics• UC Berkeley Time Machi

Plate tectonics & continental driftPlate tectonics & continental drift
• Mechanism* New crust at mid-ocean
ridges* Sea floor spreading,
carries continents* Subduction under
continents
