Document Summary
Learning objectives for bild 3, spring 2016 dr. sarah stockwell. 1. provide examples of various different types of evidence for evolution, and how each of these is used to demonstrate the occurrence of evolution: fossil record. Which type of evolution was darwin thinking about when he described descent with modification: microevolution is evolution on a short time scale. Change in the genetic composition of a population across generations. 8 green and 2 brown to 6 green and 4 brown after one: macroevolution is evolution on a long time scale generation. Change in the composition of species over time. Reconstructed using evidence from geology, fossils, and dna from living organisms: macroevolution is darwin"s thinking. Sedimentary rock has things put on top of each other and the rock gets created. Fossils must be buried to be preserved and fossilized so they get pushed down further and further while sedimentary rock is created.
