After his voyage on the Beagle and many observations, he developed the Theory of Evolution
Who is Darwin

change over time
What is evolution
100
All species are derived or come from common ancestors
What is common descent
100
This is the belief that God created the world and all of life
What is creationism
100
This is a scale that divides the Earth's History
What is geologic time scale
200
This scientist developed the same ideas about evolution as Darwin.
Who is Wallace
200
inherited characteristic that increases the chance of survival
What is an adaptation
200
Structures that develop from the same embryonic tissue but have different mature forms.
What is a homologous structure
200
This is the process by which organisms have defended from common ancestors and have changed over time
What is evolution
200
The geologic time scale has three of these
What is eras
300
These geologists determined that the age of the Earth is millions of years old.
Who is Hutton & Lyell
300
Nature provides this variation and results in differences among individuals within a species.
What is natural variation
300
When 2 species no longer reproduce due to being separated by a mountain range
What is geographic isolation
300
There are 12 of these in the geologic time scale.
What are periods
400

ability of an organism to survive and reproduce
What is fitness
500
organ with little or no function, i.e. pinky toe
What is a vestigial organ
