What is the Law of Use and Disuse?
also known as - "survival of the fittest"!
movement of the continents relative to one another
the parts of an organism's body that are used become more developed; parts that are not sued become smaller and may disappear
Who is Charles Darwin ?
the ship that many scientists and naturalist traveled upon when making many discoveries about different species
a famous naturalist who described Natural Selection as the mechanism behind evolution. He traveled around Southeast Asia only making many observations.
a famous naturalist who was the FIRST to describe Natural Selection as the mechanism behind evolution, from his observations in the Galapagos.
What is another word for Natural Selection?

a period in Earth's history
In evolution, what does the word fitness mean?
the ability to workout and exercise without getting fatigued or tired
the ability of an individual species to survive and reproduce

Phyletic Gradualism
Descent with Modifications
The Origin of Species is...
A book written and published by Charles Darwin, describing natural selection and descent with modification

the name of the book published by Alfred Wallace that described natural selection and evolution
What is adaptation?
movement of continents relative to one another
an inherited characteristic that increase an organism's chance of survival in its habitat - can be behavioral or physical
the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce
What is a Scientific Theory?
an inherited characteristic that increase an organisms chance of survival in its habitat

Who was Alfred Wallace?
a famous naturalist who described Natural Selection as the mechanism behind evolution, from his observations in Southeast Asia
a famous scientist who discovered the that if different organism's didn't use parts of their body, those parts would not develop while other parts that were used could become stronger and more developed
a close friend to Charles Darwin who persuaded him not to publish his ideas and theories on evolution due to conflicts with commonly held religious beliefs
What is punctuated equilibrium?
the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce
a model of evolution which hypothesizes that evolution occurs in bursts, with more stable species in between
movement of continents relative to one another
What is Phyletic Gradualism?
also known as the survival of the fittest
also known as layers or rock, often sedimentary
a model of evolution which hypothesizes that evolution is slow, uniform and gradual

Natural Selection
His Theory involves natural selection.

Charles Darwin
Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck
It takes place when population decreases due to various environmental factors such as fires, earthquakes and floods.
Bottle Neck Effect
Founder Effect
Natural Selection
Each living species has descended, with changes, from other species over time and as a result species today look different from their ancestors.
