What are the principals behind evolution?
What evidence exists supporting the theory of evolution?
What are the components of the theory of natural selection?
How are Lamarck's theories inconsistent with genetic traits?
1. Define evolution
2. Theories of Evolution: Darwin vs. Lamarck
3. Evidence of Evolution: Fossils, Homologous, Vestigal, Embryolgical, Chemical
4. Conditions for Natural Selection
5. Speciation and its cause: Isolation (geographic, genetic, environmental, mechanical, behavioral), mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, selective breeding
6. Punctuated vs. Gradualism Evolution
Students will develop the ability to:
1. Compare and contract the theories of natural selection and Lamarckism
2. Utilization of the proofs of evolution to assess evolutionary proximity
3. Apply the theory of natural selection to a given evolutionary problem
4. Differentiate between the conditions for genetic equilibrium and evolutionary change
