Charles Darwin
A story describing how Darwin recanted his ideas about evolution.
What is a false story?
Something must be added to the genetic code in this type of evolution.
What is macro evolution?
This data set requires clear intermediate fossil links between two species, to show that one has evolved from the other, in order to support macro evolution.
What is the fossil record?
In the puctuated equilibrium theory, this happens in steps over short time spans and then not at all until it happens in steps for another short time.
What is evolution?
Darwin did most of his work that led to his hypothesis of evolution in this location?
What is the HMS Beagle?
A scarcity of low growing food causes horses to become giraffes that can reach nutritious leaves high in the trees with this kind of evolution.
What is the addition of much genetic information to create a new species through macro evolution?
Studying this should, according to macroevolusionists, show that a bacterium more closely resembles a yeast than a kangaroo resembles a yeast.
What is an organisms cytochrome C?
The book discusses two intermediate links. This is the name of one.
Who are Archaeopteryx or Australopithecus?
Darwin used this main idea, developed by Thomas Malthus, to create the concept of natural selection.
What is the constant struggle for survival?
Fish who develop thicker fat layers under the skin in order to live in extremely cold water have benefited from this kind of evolution.
What is micro evolution?
When studying a protein sequence, a scientist would look for this to determine which organisms are most closely related.
What is the highest number of identical proteins similarly situated in a 14 strand portion?
The Cambrian explosion is a problem for macro evolutionists because of this.
What is the short time frame wherein so much evolution would have to occur?
Sir Charles Lyell assisted Darwin’s scientific reasonings by using the geological column to create this idea.
What is the idea that the key to the past is the present?
Genetic information remains the same throughout adaptations and change in this kind of evolution.
What is micro evolution?
According to macro evolutionists, the amino acid sequences in the hemoglobin of a human, a rat, and an ape should be more closely related between these two organisms.
What are the human and the ape?
Neo-darwinists believe that this happens to the genetic code.
What are mutations that add information?
Darwin dispelled this age old concept.
What is The Immutability of species?
What is the geologic column?
This data set provides inconclusive support for macro evolution as support can only be found if growth is slow and gradual and not from a natural catastrophe.
What is the geological column?
While natural selection occurs in the wild, this type of selection would happen when only the best livestock are bred by a farmer.
What is artificial selection?
