What is Scientific Inquiry? - Deliberate and hypothesis-driven investigation into something that has
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




already happened.
jj jj




Even 'discovery-based' scientific inquiry uses what is known to predict the identification of something
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




new but related to that known phenomenon.

5) Conclusion

Carefully designed experiments to test well-reasoned hypotheses can yield information-rich data that, if
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




analyzed with appropriate statistical methods, support or refute hypotheses that inform subsequent
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




conclusions that then can inform careful design of experiments to test well-reasoned hypotheses...etc.

Evolution: Defined Over Time - ...development of an individual, from the Latin word meaning 'unrolling',

...preformation, Charles Bonnett (18th cent.) jj jj jj jj




...transformation of a species/population, Robert Grant, Charles Lyell, and Charles Darwin (19th cent.)
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




...descent with modification (19th-20th cent.)
jj jj jj jj




Biological evolution explains the forces, and their impacts, that give rise to heritable modifications over
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




time within species.

Evolution As A Science - Can experiments be designed and performed that demonstrate the evolution of a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




species? YES!

Evolutionary biology derives evidence from many disciplines for supporting or refuting hypotheses about
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




biological phenomena.

Evolution As A 'Theory' - Is Evolution a Theory or Fact?
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




It is both. But that answer requires looking more deeply at the meanings of the words "theory" and "fact".
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




A 'theory' colloquially refers to opinion or speculation, often a conclusion based on speculation or
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




inconclusive evidence.
jj jj




A formal scientific theory is 'a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




vast body of knowledge'.
jj jj jj jj




Examples: Cell theory; heliocentric theory; theory of gravity; germ theory
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




A formal scientific theory can be used to make predictions.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




Examples: movement of the moon; disease transmission; transitional forms between fishes and limbed
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




terrestrial animals in sediments 375Myo.
jj jj jj jj jj

, A 'fact' in science refers to a 'scientific explanation that has been tested and confirmed multiple times
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing it'.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




Abundant data collected from across many fields about many species all supports the existence of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




biological evolution...and WE will examine this evidence throughout this course.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




What 'Evolves'? - Individuals can be acted on by 'evolutionary forces', like natural selection, but it is the
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




population of individuals, each with variable reproductive success, contribute to each generation of a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




species...and how each generation changes, dramatically or subtly, reflects how the species evolves.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




Individuals that survived long enough to have offspring passed those traits on to the next generation, and
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




those individuals represented the species.
jj jj jj jj jj




Living at high-altitudes for prologued periods can lead to diminished health and low birth rates due to low
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




oxygen availability (hypoxia).
jj jj jj




Tibetian and Andean populations have exhibited mutations around genes that are linked to survival at
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




elevated altitudes that aren't common in populations residing at low altitudes.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




The frequency of these mutations are much higher in Andean and Tibetian human populations than in...
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




Individual peppered moths did not change but the frequency of different phenotypes changed over time
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




due to evasion success.
jj jj jj jj




Therefore, the population of peppered moths changed over time. jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
