BIOL 1202 Chapter : Bio Day 2
Document Summary
Charles darwin does not explain how life began. He talks about how life can change over time. This will be most of the material on the first exam. One of the key things people noticed was there is life everywhere. Bacteria live in our colon- thousands of species. Next the big group would be all the mammals. There are hundreds of thousands species of beetles. Must know this: the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena, such activities restricted to a class of natural phenomena. Theory- general explanation of natural phenomena, developed through extensive and reproducible observations. Wallace sent him a paper about the same thing darwin was writing about for years. One of the biggest things missing was a time frame missing for all of these things. They thought the earth was only thousands years old, not billions. He looked at aquatic reptiles, birds, and tortoises.
