Evolution

SC.912.L.15.1 Evidence for Evolution Explain how the scientific theory of evolution is supported by the fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, molecular biology, and observed evolutionary change.

SC.912.L.15.10 Trends in Hominid Evolution Identify basic trends in hominid evolution from early ancestors six million years ago to modern humans, including brain size, jaw size, language, and manufacture of tools.

SC.912.L.15.13 Conditions for Natural Selection Describe the conditions required for natural selection, including: overproduction of offspring, inherited variation, and the struggle to survive, which result in differential reproductive success.

SC.912.L.15.14 Genetic Drift & Gene Flow Discuss mechanisms of evolutionary change other than natural selection such as genetic drift and gene flow.

SC.912.L.15.15 Genetic Variation Describe how mutation and genetic recombination increase genetic variation

SC.912.L.15.8 Origin of Life on Earth Describe the scientific explanations of the origin of life on Earth.
