3. Charles Darwin (and his colleague Alfred Wallace) both observed similar patterns in other organisms and came up with an idea of how species could change over time. What mechanism did they propose to explain this phenomenon? 4. Summarize the three principles in nature that supports this mechanism. Simplify! 5. Based on the three principles above, what did Darwin and Wallace reasoned/concluded?

What is the difference between micro- and macroevolution? Microevolution describes the evolution of small organisms, such as insects, while macroevolution describes the evolution of large organisms, like people and elephants Microevolution describes the evolution of microscopic entities, such as molecules and proteins, while macroevolution describes the evolution of whole organisms Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms in populations, while macroevolution describes the evolution of species over long periods of time Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms over their lifetimes, while macroevolution describes the evolution of organisms over multiple generations.

1) How have scientists created the "tree of life"? Do you think that variations exist between these created trees? 2) What are the pros and cons to creating a "tree of life"? 3) When constructing this tree of life we can see many dead ends or organisms that we are unsure of their exact placement. Why is this? 4) Choose one species (either alive today or extinct) and describe its taxonomic classification. What traits or characteristics were used to classify this species into its current taxonomic classification? What other organisms are considered to be its closest relatives?
