EVOLUTION CONNECTION In 1847, the German biologistChristian Bergmann noted that mammals and birds livingat higher latitudes (farther from the equator) are on averagelarger and bulkier than related species found at lower latitudes.Suggest an evolutionary hypothesis to explain this observation
Address (don’t just say “true” or “false”) the following myths about evolution. Limit your answers to 1-2 sentences each:
a. Evolution tells us how life began
b. Evolution says animals do things for the good of their species.
c. If evolution were true, they would call it a fact, not a theory.
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Interactions Write a shortessay (about 100–150 words) evaluating whether changesto an organism’s physical environment are likely to resultin evolutionary change. Use an example to support yourreasoning.
