Tech tips
• Importance of Evolution through Natural Selection
• Objections to Darwin’s theory of evolution
• Key words: Darwin, evolution, natural selection, cell theory, Cambrian
explosion, stromatolites, prokaryotes, eukaryotes
Origin of life?
- Panspermia – fossil cyanobacteria from meteorites?
- Special creation by supernatural or divine forces?
- EVOLUTION
Three generalisations in bio:
❖ Natural Selection: First generalisation of biology
- Great unifying theory in biology
o All organisms arose from more primitive forms
o The earth has a long history
o All organisms are related as they share common
ancestry
2 Processes of evolution:
1. Variability
2. Ordering the variability via natural selection – descent of modification
❖ Unity of Biochemical Processes: Second generalisation of biology
o If all organisms are related they share certain biochemical
reactions
o All organisms have DNA that contains instructions
o All organisms have machinery to carry out instructions –
proteins
o
❖ Cell Theory: Third generalisation of biology
o All organisms consist of cells
o All cells arise from other cells
