Ø Simplest cell gave rise to the biodiversity of life Was Darwin wrong ?
The theory of evolution is that new species arise because there is Charles Darwin :
variation within population which allows survival. - explorer, naturalist.
- His father was a minister, very religious fa
Eg. Eventually genes are breed out if animals don’t survive in a particular
environment and so the better adapted genes will be passed onto those The origins of species book speaks about 3 thing
generations which reproduce 1. Life was old and had existed for millions o

What is biological evolution? In the context of this time : creation seemed to
Process of change over the course of time Forms of evidence today
- Alteration of genotype (genetic mutations)
- Transfer of these genes to the next generation Ø When did life begin. Evidence in Australia

Micro-evolution : small scale. Changes inherited in a population from one Scientists are confident because their anc

Macro-evolution : large scale. New life forms/groups of organisms fossilized structures in Australia are the o
develop from pre-existing ones Ø Darwin said Natural selection created new
Speciation : development of one species into another new species Ø All large creatures, including us came from
far from apes. Living things evolved 1859
In order to develop a theory/idea scientists examine supporting evidence walking on land the transition of animals.

earth). Eg. Continents were one and identical fossils in same area Ø An ape like creature started walking on 2
would have existed together, them separation etc. become human-like
