Document Summary
The striking ways in which organisms are suited for their environment. Evolution: descent with modification; a change in the genetic composition of a population from generation to generation. Pattern: revealed by data in many scientific disciplines; facts/observations about the natural world. Process: the mechanisms that produce the observed pattern of change. 22. 1: the darwinian revolution challenged traditional views of a young earth inhabited by. Life forms could be arranged on a ladder, scala naturae (scale of nature), in order of unchanging species increasing complexity. Carolus linnaeus came up with binomial format of naming. Nested classification system, grouped similar species into increasing generality. Resemblances due to pattern of species" creations. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species (came up with hierarchy) Darwin said hierarchy exists because of evolution/descent with modification. Phylogeny: the study of the evolutionary origin of something. Fossils: remains or traces of organisms from the past see end. Strata: superimposed layers of rock (sedimentary rock)
