Standards Addressed:
- HS-LS4-1. Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence, including molecular, anatomical, and developmental similarities inherited from a common ancestor (homologies), seen through fossils and laboratory and field observations.
- HS-LS4-2. Construct an explanation based on evidence that Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection occurs in a population when the following conditions are met: (a) more offspring are produced than can be supported by the environment, (b) there is heritable variation among individuals, and (c) some of these variations lead to differential fitness among individuals as some individuals are better able to compete for limited resources than others.
- HS-LS4-4. Research and communicate information about key features of viruses and bacteria to explain their ability to adapt and reproduce in a wide variety of environments.

**** Define the key terms!
- How have scientists applied Darwin's theory of evolution?
- What evidence did Darwin have to suggest that extinct species were similar to living species?
- What does Darwin's theory of evolution explain about the natural world?
- What three kinds of variations among organisms did Darwin observe during his voyage?
- What evidence or logical reasoning suggest that Earth was much more than a few thousand years old?
- What did Hutton and Lyell conclude about Earth's history?
- What evidence refutes Lamarck's ideas about passing on acquired traits?
- What role did Lamarck think acquired characteristics played in evolution?
- According to Malthus, what factors limit human population growth?
- What events must have occurred for fossils of marine organisms to be in a mountain far above sea level?
- How is natural selection different from artificial selection?
- What three conditions are necessary for natural selection to occur?
- How does evolution explain both the unity and the diversity of all living things?
- Why is high fitness a function of an organism's environment? Include animals from a specific environment, such as polar bear in the arctic tundra or frogs in the tropical rainforest, as evidence to support your explanation.
- How is biogeography useful for identifying evolutionary relationships?
- What have scientists learned from fossils that have been discovered since Darwin's time?
