Jane goodall -> rawc at 5:30pm sept 18. Evolution according to darwin: descent with modification . Evolution is really a theory, but there is so much evidence it is considered to be a fact.

Look at the behaviour you see and think; how is it adaptive: how is it beneficial to the survival of that organism. The colour blobs are using molecular clocks to date the ancestry (molecular analysis) Have to separate ultimate questions from proximate questions. Proximate: it gets colder and there"s less food, ultimate: you"re going to survive better if you go south. Suicide lemmings would make useless offspring more lemmings that would commit suicide.
