Descent With Modification

"Look at these giraffe fossils over time! The necks are so much shorter millions of years ago! I wonder if over time the giraffes reaching for the higher leaves on the Acacia Trees caused the species to grow longer necks!!!"

Who am I?

"Whoa! All these finches used to be one species on this island! Now their beaks are all structurally different! Some are good for functioning as a nutcracker, others an insect cather, others a nectar drinker! I think nature selected these changes over time!"

Who am I?

Ara macao (Scarlet Macaw) males are brightly colored. This poses a major problem with predators seeing them easily! How on EARTH did natural selection lead to these male birds being this bright with such a survival disadvantage?

The Eastern Whip-or-Will is the adorable avian creature seen in the image! Many bird species have brightly colored males! This is a male. Obviously, natural selection took a different path in theis species. Explain how and why.

Identify and explain the four pieces of strong scientific evidence that support the Scientific Theory of Evolution.

Discuss the history of selective breeding in agriculture and explain how, over time, the species we eat have changed... and why...

Compare and contrast a change in a population over time due to genetic drift versus natural slection.

Examine this phylogeny tree (cladogram). According to this tree, what Kingdom(s) of organisms share the most recent common ancestor with a cat or a human?

Examine this phylogeny tree (cladogram). According to this tree, are humans more closely related to archaeans or bacteria? Explain.

A tiger is a species of large cat called Panthera tigris. A lion is a species of large cat called Panthera leo. A liger is not species and has no scientific name, yet it is an organism. Explain.
