1. Week 32
How life on
earth
changed over
time
All living things have a
common ancestor
Humans did not evolve from apes..
Humans and apes have a
Ch. 15.1 pg 392 common ancestor!
6. Charles Darwin biography
biography
Supported ideas on evolution by natural
selection using fossils as evidence
Darwin Awards
7. natural selection
Survival of the fittest,
organisms with favorable
traits survive, reproduce
and pass on variations to
the next generation
Peacock Tail Tale
8. adaptations
Any variation that aids an organism’s chances of
survival in it’s environment, used as evidence of
evolution

12. analogous structure
Body parts that do not have a common
evolutionary origin but are similar in
function, ex. wings of birds and butterflies
13. vestigial structure
A body structure in a
present day organism
that no longer serves
its original purpose
ex. human appendix
eyes of blind mole-
rats, and
Hip bones in whale
14. embryology
Studying the stages of growth and development of both
plants and animals, phases suggest evolution from distant
common ancestors, ex. embryo tails and pharyngeal
pouches
15. biochemistry
Compare differences that exist among
species’ DNA, ATP and other biochemical’s,
more similarities suggest being more closely
related
16. scientific method
the process used to
construct accurate
predictions
hypothesis
A prediction based on
observations, how will
data
changes effect an
observations
outcome
17. independent
variable
Changes tested by the
scientist, think what am
“I” testing, changing
Ex. changing slope of
ramp
dependent
variable
The outcome of an
experiment
Ex. speed of marble
18. Quantitative data
Numeric data – measured or
counted
Qualitative data
described in terms of quality,
using LANGUAGE
Examples: color, small,
smooth
19. results conclusion
A summary of the data Analyzes the results (outcome) of

Structural features showing common
evolutionary origin, ex. forelimbs of whale,

Used to compare differences that exist among
species’ DNA, ATP and other biochemical’s,
more similarities suggest being more closely
related

Breeding organisms with specific traits in order to
produce offspring with identical traits
