3. • Darwin made two major points in his book
– He presented evidence that the many species
of organisms presently inhabiting the Earth are
descendants of ancestral species
– He proposed a mechanism for the evolutionary
process, natural selection

5. Resistance to the Idea of Evolution
• The Origin of Species
– Shook the deepest roots of Western culture
– Challenged a worldview that had been
prevalent for centuries
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. The Scale of Nature and Classification of Species
• The Greek philosopher Aristotle
– Viewed species as fixed and unchanging
• The Old Testament of the Bible
– Holds that species were individually designed
by God and therefore perfect
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
7. • Carolus Linnaeus
– Interpreted organismal adaptations as
evidence that the Creator had designed each
species for a specific purpose
– Was a founder of taxonomy, classifying life’s
diversity “for the greater glory of God”
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
8. Theories of Gradualism
• Gradualism
– Is the idea that profound change can take
place through the cumulative effect of slow but
continuous processes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
9. • Geologists Hutton and Lyell
– Perceived that changes in Earth’s surface can
result from slow continuous actions still
operating today
– Exerted a strong influence on Darwin’s
thinking
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
10. Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution
• Lamarck hypothesized that species evolve
– Through use and disuse and the inheritance of
acquired traits
– But the mechanisms he proposed are
unsupported by evidence

12. The Origin of Species
• Darwin developed two main ideas
– Evolution explains life’s unity and diversity
– Natural selection is a cause of adaptive
evolution
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
13. Descent with Modification
• The phrase descent with modification
– Summarized Darwin’s perception of the unity
of life
– States that all organisms are related through
descent from an ancestor that lived in the
remote past
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
14. • In the Darwinian view, the history of life is like a tree

15. Natural Selection and Adaptation
• Evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr
– Has dissected the logic of Darwin’s theory into
three inferences based on five observations
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
16. • Observation #1: For any species, population
sizes would increase exponentially
– If all individuals that are born reproduced
successfully
Figure 22.8
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
17. • Observation #2: Nonetheless, populations tend
to be stable in size
– Except for seasonal fluctuations
• Observation #3: Resources are limited
• Inference #1: Production of more individuals
than the environment can support
– Leads to a struggle for existence among
individuals of a population, with only a fraction
of their offspring surviving
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
18. • Observation #4: Members of a population vary
extensively in their characteristics
– No two individuals are exactly alike
Figure 22.9
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
19. • Observation #5: Much of this variation is
heritable
• Inference #2: Survival depends in part on
inherited traits
– Individuals whose inherited traits give them a
high probability of surviving and reproducing
are likely to leave more offspring than other
individuals
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
20. • Inference #3: This unequal ability of individuals
to survive and reproduce
– Will lead to a gradual change in a population,
with favorable characteristics accumulating
over generations
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
21. Artificial Selection
• In the process of artificial selection
– Humans have modified other species over
many generations by selecting and breeding
individuals that possess desired traits

22. Summary of Natural Selection
• Natural selection is differential success in
reproduction
– That results from the interaction between
individuals that vary in heritable traits and their
environment
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
23. • If an environment changes over time
– Natural selection may result in adaptation to
these new conditions
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
24. The Evolution of Drug-Resistant HIV
• In humans, the use of drugs
– Selects for pathogens that through chance
mutations are resistant to the drugs’ effects
• Natural selection is a cause of adaptive
evolution
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
25. • Researchers have developed numerous drugs
to combat HIV
Percent of HIV resistant to 3TC
– But using these medications selects for
viruses resistant to the drugs

26. Molecular Homologies
• Biologists also observe homologies among
organisms at the molecular level
– Such as genes that are shared among
organisms inherited from a common ancestor
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
27. • Anatomical resemblances among species
– Are generally reflected in their molecules, their
genes, and their gene products

29. What Is Theoretical about the Darwinian View of Life?
• In science, a theory
– Accounts for many observations and data and
attempts to explain and integrate a great
variety of phenomena
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
30. • New information has revised our understanding
of the tree of life
• Molecular Data
– Have provided new insights in recent decades
regarding the deepest branches of the tree of
life

31. Previous Taxonomic Systems
• Early classification systems had two kingdoms
– Plants and animals
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
32. • Robert Whittaker proposed a system with five
kingdoms
– Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia

36. • Concept 25.2: Phylogenetic systematics
connects classification with evolutionary history
• Taxonomy
– Is the ordered division of organisms into
categories based on a set of characteristics
used to assess similarities and differences
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
37. Binomial Nomenclature
• Binomial nomenclature
– Is the two-part format of the scientific name of
an organism
– Was developed by Carolus Linnaeus
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
38. • The binomial name of an organism or scientific
epithet
– Is latinized
– Is the genus and species
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
39. Hierarchical Classification
• Linnaeus also introduced a system
– For grouping species in increasingly broad
categories

43. • Concept 25.3: Phylogenetic systematics informs the
construction of phylogenetic trees based on shared
characteristics
• A cladogram
– Is a depiction of patterns of shared characteristics
among taxa
• A clade within a cladogram
– Is defined as a group of species that includes an
ancestral species and all its descendants
• Cladistics
– Is the study of resemblances among clades
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
44. Cladistics
• Clades
– Can be nested within larger clades, but not all
groupings or organisms qualify as clades
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
45. • A valid clade is monophyletic
– Signifying that it consists of the ancestor
species and all its descendants
Grouping 1

(a) Monophyletic. In this tree, grouping 1,
consisting of the seven species B–H, is a
monophyletic group, or clade. A monophyletic group is made up of an
ancestral species (species B in this case)
and all of its descendant species. Only
monophyletic groups qualify as
legitimate taxa derived from cladistics.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
46. • A paraphyletic clade
– Is a grouping that consists of an ancestral
species and some, but not all, of the
descendants
Grouping 2

(b) Paraphyletic. Grouping 2 does not
meet the cladistic criterion: It is
paraphyletic, which means that it
consists of an ancestor (A in this case)
and some, but not all, of that ancestor’s
descendants. (Grouping 2 includes the
descendants I, J, and K, but excludes
B–H, which also descended from A.)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
47. • A polyphyletic grouping
– Includes numerous types of organisms that
lack a common ancestor
Grouping 3

Figure 25.10c
(c) Polyphyletic. Grouping 3 also fails the
cladistic test. It is polyphyletic, which
means that it lacks the common ancestor
of (A) the species in the group. Furthermore, a valid taxon that includes the
extant species G, H, J, and K would
necessarily also contain D and E, which
are also descended from A.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
48. Shared Primitive and Shared Derived Characteristics
• In cladistic analysis
– Clades are defined by their evolutionary
novelties
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
49. • A shared primitive character
– Is a homologous structure that predates the
branching of a particular clade from other
members of that clade
– Is shared beyond the taxon we are trying to
define
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
50. • A shared derived character
– Is an evolutionary novelty unique to a particular
clade
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
52. Similarity due to common ancestry- similar DNA sequences
Intraindividual homology?
Similarity by common ancestry of features within
an individual, e.g., carpels and leaves
(common ancestry by genes)
53. Similarity not by common ancestry.
Types?
Convergence - independent evolution of a
similar feature in 2 or more lineages.
Reversal - loss of a derived feature with reestablishment of ancestral feature.
