The Berkeley Evolution Site
Teachers and students who visit the Berkeley site will find resources to aid in understanding and teaching evolution. The materials are organized in optional learning paths for example "What does T. rex look like?"
Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection explains how over time, animals that are more able to adapt to changing environments thrive, and those that are not extinct. This process of evolution in biology is the basis of science.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution has many nonscientific meanings. For instance "progress" or "descent with modification." Scientifically, it refers to a process of changes in the traits of organisms (or species) over time. In terms of biology the change is due to natural selection and genetic drift.
Evolution is one of the fundamental tenets of modern biology. It is a well-supported theory that has stood up to the tests of time and thousands of scientific studies. Evolution doesn't deal with the existence of God or religious beliefs like other scientific theories such as the Copernican or germ theory of diseases.
Early evolutionists like Erasmus Darwin (Charles’s grandfather) and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed that certain physical characteristics were predetermined to evolve in a step-like fashion over time. This was referred to as the "Ladder of Nature" or scala naturae. Charles Lyell used the term to describe this idea in his Principles of Geology, first published in 1833.
In the early 1800s, Darwin formulated his theory of evolution and published it in his book On the Origin of Species. It states that all species of organisms share a common ancestry, which can be traced through fossils and other evidence. This is the current view on evolution, and is supported in a wide range of areas of science which include molecular biology.
Scientists don't know how organisms have evolved but they are sure that natural selection and genetic drift is responsible for the development of life. Individuals with advantageous characteristics are more likely than others to survive and reproduce. These individuals transmit their genes on to the next generation. In time, this results in a gradual accumulation of changes to the gene pool that gradually lead to new species and types.
Certain scientists also use the term evolution to refer to large-scale changes in evolutionary processes like the creation of a new species from an ancestral species. Other scientists, such as population geneticists, define the term "evolution" more broadly, referring to a net change in the frequency of alleles across generations. Both definitions are correct and acceptable, but some scientists believe that allele-frequency definitions omit important features of evolutionary process.
Origins of Life
One of the most crucial steps in evolution is the emergence of life. The emergence of life occurs when living systems start to develop at a micro level, such as within cells.
The origin of life is an important subject in many disciplines such as biology and chemistry. The question of how living things started is of particular importance in science because it is an enormous challenge to the theory of evolution. It is often described as "the mystery of life," or "abiogenesis."
The notion that life could be born from non-living objects was referred to as "spontaneous generation" or "spontaneous evolutionary". It was a popular belief before Louis Pasteur's tests proved that the development of living organisms was not possible through a natural process.
Many scientists still think it is possible to go from living to nonliving substances. However, the conditions that are required are extremely difficult to replicate in the laboratory. This is why scientists studying the beginnings of life are also keen to understand the physical properties of the early Earth and other planets.
The life-cycle of a living organism is dependent on a variety of complex chemical reactions which are not predicted by simple physical laws. These include the reading of long information-rich molecules (DNA or RNA) into proteins that perform some function, and the replication of these intricate molecules to generate new DNA or RNA sequences. These chemical reactions are comparable to the chicken-and-egg problem: the emergence and development of DNA/RNA, a protein-based cell machinery, is necessary for the onset life. However without life, the chemistry needed to create it does appear to work.
Abiogenesis research requires collaboration with scientists from different disciplines. This includes prebiotic chemists, 에볼루션카지노사이트 planet scientists, astrobiologists, geologists and geophysicists.
Evolutionary Changes
The term "evolution" today is used to describe the general changes in genetic traits over time. These changes can result from the response to environmental pressures as described in the entry on Darwinism (see the entry on Charles Darwin for background) or may result from natural selection.
This latter mechanism increases the number of genes that offer the advantage of survival for the species, leading to an overall change in the appearance of a group. These evolutionary changes are caused by mutations, reshuffling genes in the process of sexual reproduction, and also by the flow of genes.
Natural selection is the process that makes beneficial mutations more common. All organisms undergo changes and 에볼루션 무료 바카라 블랙잭 (weblink) reshuffles in their genes. This is because, as we've mentioned earlier, 무료에볼루션 those individuals with the beneficial trait tend to have a higher reproductive rate than those who do not have it. This difference in the number of offspring that are produced over a number of generations could cause a gradual change in the average number of beneficial traits in a group.
This can be seen in the evolution of different beak shapes for finches from the Galapagos Islands. They have created these beaks to ensure that they can access food more quickly in their new home. These changes in form and shape can aid in the creation of new organisms.
The majority of changes are caused by a single mutation, however sometimes multiple occur at once. The majority of these changes are neutral or even detrimental to the organism, but a small percentage can be beneficial to the survival of the organism and its reproduction, thereby increasing the frequency of these changes in the population over time. Natural selection is a process that can produce the accumulating change over time that leads to a new species.
Many people think that evolution is a form of soft inheritance which is the notion that traits inherited from parents can be altered by conscious choice or abuse. This is a misinterpretation of the biological processes that lead to the process of evolution. It is more accurate to say that evolution is a two-step independent process, that is influenced by the forces of natural selection as well as mutation.
Origins of Humans
Humans of today (Homo sapiens) evolved from primates - a species of mammals that includes gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos. The earliest human fossils prove that our ancestors were bipeds, walking on two legs. Biological and genetic similarities indicate that we share the same ancestry with the chimpanzees. In fact our closest relatives are the chimpanzees from the Pan genus. This includes pygmy and bonobos. The last common ancestor shared between modern humans and chimpanzees was between 8 and 6 million years old.
Over time humans have developed a variety of traits, including bipedalism as well as the use of fire. They also developed advanced tools. However, it is only in the past 100,000 years or 에볼루션 사이트 so that most of the essential characteristics that differentiate us from other species have been developed. These include language, a large brain, the ability to construct and use complex tools, as well as the diversity of our culture.
Evolution occurs when genetic changes enable members of the group to better adapt to their environment. Natural selection is the process that drives this change. Certain characteristics are more desirable than others. People with better adaptations are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation. This is the process that evolves all species, and it is the basis of the theory of evolution.
Scientists refer to this as the "law of natural selection." The law says that species that share a common ancestor tend to develop similar traits over time. This is because these traits allow them to survive and reproduce within their environment.
Every organism has a DNA molecule that provides the information necessary to guide their growth and development. The structure of DNA is made of base pairs that are arranged in a spiral around phosphate and sugar molecules. The sequence of bases within each strand determines the phenotype - the characteristic appearance and behavior of an individual. A variety of mutations and reshufflings of the genetic material (known as alleles) during sexual reproduction cause variation in a population.
Fossils of the earliest human species, Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis were discovered in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Despite some differences the fossils all support the idea that modern humans first came into existence in Africa. Genetic and fossil evidence also suggest that early humans came from Africa into Asia and then Europe.
