Lecture 3 The Darwinian Revolution

Theories of evolution first developed by the Greek philosophers.

Theories of evolution first developed by the Greek philosophers. Anaximander (610-546 BC) wrote about the sudden appearance of humans from fishlike creatures.

Is this evolution?

Is this evolution? NO! It is spontaneous generation!

Two characteristics of spontaneous generation were common to early Greek philosophers:

Two characteristics of spontaneous generation were common to early Greek philosophers: 1. Resulted from the generative powers of nature (i.e., not actions of a God).

Two characteristics of spontaneous generation were common to early Greek philosophers: 1. Resulted from the generative powers of nature (i.e., not actions of a God). 2. Were nonteleological (i.e., without an underlying design or goal).

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) Plato and Aristotle

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 1. All species are fixed and eternal

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 1. All species are fixed and eternal evolution not possible!

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 2. The philosophy of essentialism

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 2. The philosophy of essentialism each species represented by its eidos

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 2. The philosophy of essentialism each species represented by its eidos variation among individuals of a species is not real, nor important.

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 3. The scala naturae or great chain of being

The influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) 3. The scala naturae or great chain of being refers to a linear progression of organisms from most simple to most complex.

Evolution according to Lamarck (1744-1829)

Evolution according to Lamarck (1744-1829) Recognized two causes of evolutionary change:

Evolution according to Lamarck (1744-1829) Recognized two causes of evolutionary change: 1. Life has an innate potential to acquire greater and greater complexity.

Evolution according to Lamarck (1744-1829) Recognized two causes of evolutionary change: 1. Life has an innate potential to acquire greater and greater complexity. - now called orthogenesis.

Recognized two causes of evolutionary change: 2. Organisms reacted to their environments and changed form.

Recognized two causes of evolutionary change: 2. Organisms reacted to their environments and changed form. changes were then transmitted to subsequent generations.

Evolution according to Charles Darwin (1809-1882)

Evolution according to Charles Darwin (1809-1882) - publication of On the origin of species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life ( The origin ) occurred in 1859.

Darwin had two main objectives in writing this book

Darwin s objectives: 1. To make the case that evolution had occurred.

Darwin s objectives: 1. To make the case that evolution had occurred. 2. To provide a mechanism for how evolutionary change occurs.

Darwin s Five Theories

Darwin s Five Theories 1. Evolution per se

Darwin s Five Theories 1. Evolution per se the world is steadily changing and populations of organisms are transformed over time.

Darwin s Five Theories 1. Evolution per se the world is steadily changing and populations of organisms are transformed over time. 2. Common descent

Darwin s Five Theories 1. Evolution per se the world is steadily changing and populations of organisms are transformed over time. 2. Common descent every group of organisms has descended from a common ancestor.

Darwin s Five Theories 1. Evolution per se the world is steadily changing and populations of organisms are transformed over time. 2. Common descent every group of organisms has descended from a common ancestor. all species can ultimately be traced to a single origin of life on earth.

Darwin s Five Theories 3. Multiplication of species

Darwin s Five Theories 3. Multiplication of species this process is now called speciation.

Darwin s Five Theories 3. Multiplication of species this process is now called speciation. Darwin s view similar to what is now called allopatric speciation.

Similarities between Lamarck s and Darwin s theories

Similarities between Lamarck s and Darwin s theories 1. Lineages change over time - evolution occurs.

Similarities between Lamarck s and Darwin s theories 1. Lineages change over time - evolution occurs. 2. A continually changing world drives evolutionary change.

Similarities between Lamarck s and Darwin s theories 1. Lineages change over time - evolution occurs. 2. A continually changing world drives evolutionary change. 3. The rate of change is slow (gradualism).
