1 EVOLUTION!!!! CHAPTER 19 Linnaeus Lamarck Wallace Hutton and Lyell Malthus Cuvier Have you heard of these individuals before? What are they known for?
2 Pre-Darwin European Views Just before Darwin came along many world views were changing Views on species?? Are fixed in form! Where did this idea come from.
3 Plato + Aristotle Unchanging essences Ideal or unique forms Great Chain of Being 1579 drawing of the great chain of being from Didacus Valades, Rhetorica Christiana
4 Sean Nee (Nature :429): For centuries the "great chain of being" held a central place in Western thought. This view saw the Universe as ordered in a linear sequence starting from the inanimate world of rocks. Plants came next, then animals, men, angels and, finally, God. It was very detailed with, for example, a ranking of human races; humans themselves ranked above apes above reptiles above amphibians above fish.
5 Another contributor to the idea that species are fixed in form was the idea of.. Special creation Species created for special purposes by God Variation implies imperfection!
6 And finally Linnaeus. Studied natural world to reveal the Divine Order of God's Creation Naturalist's task to construct a "natural classification" that would reveal this order Portrait of Carl Linnaeus at 32 by J. H. Scheffel. Oil Painting, 1739.Reproduction courtesy Uppsala University Art Collections Smithsonian Museum of Natural History web site
7 Species are fixed in form came from Plato, Aristotle, Christianity, Linnaeus He was the first to think about one species changing into another Who chipped away at this idea? Lamarck.. More known for inheritance of acquired characteristics BUT also introduced idea of.. transmutation of species
8 Life was continuously being generated Microbes were simply recently generated organisms Species could move from one rung of ladder to another (due to internal urges), turning from one species into another.
9 It was an innate quality of nature that organisms constantly 'improved' by successive generation, too slowly to be perceived but observable in the fossil record. However, this necessitated the principle of spontaneous generation, for as a species transformed into a more advanced one, it left a gap: when the simple, single-celled organisms advanced to the next stage of life, new protozoans would be created (by the Creator) to fill their place. Mankind sat at the top of this chain of progression, having passed through all the previous stages in prehistory.
10 More Pre-Darwin Views Earth is young and earth events are dramatic and often catastrophic Where did this idea come from? Literal interpretation of Bible
11 Hutton and Lyell -earth was old! (Gradualism and Uniformitarianism) No supernatural forces needed! Hutton founder of modern Geology.
12 Pre-DarwinViews 1. Species are fixed in form 2. Earth is young and earth events are catastrophic 3. Species perfect so cannot go extinct
13 Extinction implies imperfection If God had created all of nature according to a divine plan at the beginning of the world, it would seem irrational for Him to let some parts of that creation die off. If life consisted of a Great Chain of Being, extending from ocean slime to humans to angels, extinctions would remove some of its links. UCMP Berkley
14 Cuvier (founder of paleontology) introduced the idea of extinction! studied elephant fossils found near Paris proclaimed that they were a separate species that had vanished from the earth! Indian Elephant vs Mammoth jaws
15 Later studied many other big mammal fossils and demonstrated that they too did not belong to any species alive today. By the end of the 1700s, paleontologists had swelled the fossil collections of Europe, offering a picture of the past at odds with an unchanging natural world. UCMP Berkeley
16 Pre-Darwin Views 1. Species are fixed in form (Lamarck) 2. Earth is young earth and earth events are catastrophic (Geologists-Lyell and Hutton) 3. Species perfect so cannot go extinct (Cuvier) Why are each of these problems for Darwin???

18 Darwin Life
19 Voyage of Beagle (left yr trip) Took Lyell s book Did not believe in Lamarck s idea that species could change
20 Reads Malthus and waits 20 years. Who was Malthus? Social reformers thought ills of man (suffering, poverty, starvation) could be eradicated. Malthus said these ills are inevitable because poverty and famine are natural outcomes of population growth and food supply Said there is a struggle for existence
21 Early to mid 1800 s was a time of great poverty in many of the new urban areas Great potato famine in Ireland occurred around the middle of the century. Illustrated London News mbbnet.umn.edu/doric/icons/potato2.jpeg&imgrefurl
22 "In October 1838, that is, fifteen months after I had begun my systematic inquiry, I happened to read for amusement Malthus On Population, and being well prepared to appreciate the struggle for existence which everywhere goes on from longcontinued observation of the habits of animals and plants, it at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The results of this would be the formation of a new species. Here, then I had at last got a theory by which to work". Charles Darwin, from his autobiography (1876)
23 Darwin applied this to organisms in general 1. Species are capable of over-reproducing (for ex. a single pair of elephants could theoretically produce 19 million elephants in 750 years) 2. But populations always tend to eventually run out of something.. whether it is food or nesting spots
24 together this means that there must be a STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE a term Malthus used for humans Darwin concluded some live some die... and therefore some favorable variations would tend to be preserved and unfavorable ones destroyed...
25 A note from Wallace Who was Wallace? Not well off Left school at 14 to work Became a commercial collector, dragging his brother with him to South America
26 By early 1852 Wallace was in ill health and in no condition to proceed any further. He decided to quit South America, and began the long trip back down the Rio Negro and Amazon to Pará. When he finally reached the town on the 2nd of July, he found that his younger brother Herbert had died of yellow fever. Within a few days he set out for England. Unfortunately, on the 6th of August the brig on which he was sailing caught fire and sank, taking almost all of his possessions--including some live animals--along with it. For ten days Wallace and his comrades struggled to survive in a pair of badly leaking lifeboats, then were sighted and picked up by a passing cargo ship also making its way back to England. As luck would have it this vessel was also old and slow, and itself nearly foundered when hit by a series of storms. In all, Wallace's ocean crossing took eighty days
27 Several years later on another collecting trip Indonesia/South Pacific Malarial fever- flash of insight
28 Both papers were presented at the Linnaean Society of London Within a year Darwin publishes 1859

30 Thoughts on.why do we know Darwin s name better than Wallace s????
31 What is the difference between evolution and natural selection? Evolution is A change in gene frequencies in a population over time A change in form/trait/behavior/protein production in a population over time (need to know that that trait has a genetic basis). Darwin called it descent with modification and transmutation of species Note issue of Scale
32 Natural selection is. The mechanism or engine of evolution Differential success in reproduction as a result of traits that are genetically based
33 Reception of Darwin s idea-evolution or transmutation of species was accepted So yes, species can change from one thing into another But there was a persistent misconception. Any thoughts?
34 Life is a copiously branching bush, continually pruned by the grim reaper of extinction, not a ladder of predictable progress..hence we continually make errors inspired by unconscious allegiance to the ladder of progress, even when we explicitly deny such a superannuated view of life. Stephen Jay Gould from Wonderful Life

39 People got hung up on the idea that evolution was progressive.(*theme*) Which comment is ladder-ish and which is Bush-ish We evolved from a chimp Share a common ancestor
40 Reception of Darwin s ideas Natural selection part was not accepted. WHY?... It was because of this nagging PROBLEM OF INHERITANCE... (how do traits get passed down??)
41 Review Lamarck s view of inheritance (Professor of Insects and Worms at Natural History Museum in Paris) Body cells would be excited to emit "gemmules" or "pangenes" They were discharged into the bloodstream and circulated around the body then would enter germ cells
42 Weismann's germ soma distinction in the 1890s chopped off the tails of rats/mice shortly after birth and then bred the animals If acquired characteristics can be passed on then young should have been born with shorter tailsright? (1,500 rats over 20 generations OR 68 white mice, repeatedly over 5 generations, and reporting that no mice were born in consequence without a tail or even with a shorter tail)
43 Many believed in blending inheritance. What is blending inheritance?? Imagine all these balls are filled with paint and you mimic mating by pulling them out of a bucket two by two.
44 Fig. 1. Difference between the outcomes from blending and from particulate inheritance. In post-mendelian terms, we assume a single diallelic locus, and hence three diploid genotypes (AA, blue; Aa, green; aa, yellow). Under particulate inheritance, the population's variability is preserved from generation to generation. In contrast, the conventional wisdom of Darwin's day saw offspring inherit a blend of parents' characteristics, here represented as the average of the two parental shadings. The result is that the variability diminishes in successive generations (the variance is halved each generation if mating is at random) SCIENCE MAGAZINE B. MAY
45 Variation is lost or washed out Favorable genes are diluted before selection can get a chance to work there is nothing for NATURAL SELECTION TO GET ITS HANDS ON Selection is a weak process with blending inheritance
46 What did Mendel discover and why was he successful?
47 1865 Mendel publishes his PARTICULATE VIEW of Inheritance (when was on Origin of Species Published?) Almost completely ignored No one noticed that this particulate view would make natural selection work
48 Modern Synthesis Post WWI (1918) to Pre WWII(Fisher, Haldane, Wright) Reconciled natural selection with Mendelian genetics.. Published substantial works showing that SMALL amounts of variation within species could over long periods of time change the appearance of organisms! Ronald A. Fisher John B. S. Haldane Sewall Wright
49 Darwin undid the essentialism that Western philosophy had inherited from Plato and Aristotle and put variation in its place. He helped to replace a static conception of the world with the vision of a world of ceaseless change. Futyma 1998

51 Questions for-zimmer Mosaicism 1. List and describe the specific medical cases and research examples they step through in the article (I found roughly 9 see how many you can find). 2. What is the difference between chimaeras and mosaicism? 3. Is cancer a form of mosaicism? 4. Can having genomes other than your own in your body be potentially beneficial?
52 Questions for-cells in the early embryo battle each other. 1. What did the researchers study and what did they find?? 2. Why might this process be an important force in longer-lived animals? 3. Is this just like the process of apoptosis?? 4. They point out that cellular resources are not wasted, why? If all cells in a body come from a single fertilized zygote (pretending we have not read the article on Chimaeras and Mosaics below) why would there be differences between cells??
