PART I. THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. DIRECTIONS: Complete the paragraph about evidence of evolution by choosing the correct word provided below. biogeography fossils homologous molecular vestigial The theory of evolution states that modern species have descended from ancestral species through evolution and speciation. It is supported by a large body of evidence such as found in geologic strata. These are remnants of ancient life that provide evidence for the evolutionary change through now-extinct forms that led to modern species. Modern species retain certain structures that arose from a common ancestor structures. Other remnants of what was once useful to the ancestors are or the findings of the original distribution of related species across the Earth the connections between ancient evidence, DNA sequences have also shed light on the occurrence of such as structures. Furthermore, we can infer from the landmasses. Finally, through some of the mechanisms of evolution.

please write your response to 1 of the options below. Ensure you include specific details of your ideas. Also, explain WHY you have chosen to highlight those aspects and make connections between the materials and your own previous knowledge and/or lived experiences. #1: Science is not done in a vacuum by singular hero-scientists -- it is a team effort. Which of these other scientists (i.e., not Darwin) highlighted in the lecture OR on the Evolutionary Scientists Today, Bio Anth Edition page did you find most surprising or intriguing? Why? #2: Evolution is not a mystery. We have observed many examples of populations changing over time both in the lab and in the wild. Which of these examples of Natural Selection in Action helped you understand how natural selection works the most? Why?
