Voyage led him to various parts of the world, and his observations there eventually led him to the theory of natural selectioni. He noticed that the characteristics of animals in the various places he visited were very well suited to the environments that they were found in b. Recognized the malleability of those characteristics c. Came up with the idea that you could have species that are made up with individuals with different characteristics & that nature selects which parents reproduce to have the most adaptive offspring d. The environment provides a context in which nature does the selecting for the most successful offspring e. Inheritance is not a blending- traits are transmitted in a discrete manner f. His transmitting theory wasn’t correct, but it lead to the future correct discoveries, and he was correct that DNA gets passed on g. Argues that human evolution takes place in the area that our common ancestors liveh. Notion that all life on earth traces to a common ancestori. In 1872 he published the Expressions of Emotions in Man and Animals – proposed that behavioral characteristics and emotions are, like other biological traits, subject to evolutionary change These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

Process of Natural Selection1. Species can produce offspring at a faster rate than food supplies increase2. There is no biological variation within all species3. In each generation, more individuals are produced than can survive4. Individuals that possess favorable traits or variations are more likely to survive and produce offspring than those who do not5. The environment context determines whether or not a trait is beneficial 6. Traits are inherited and passed on to the next generation7. Over long periods of time, variations accumulate so that later generations may be distinct from ancestral ones8. Geographical Isolation can lead to formation of new speciesIII. Video Judgment Daya. What constitutes science- whenever something is deemed too complex to be designed, it must’ve been created, it’s outside the realm of science b. Dover High School’s Board of Directors was having a debate about whether to allow any religion to be brought into the
