Biological Evolution
nThe “theory”
that all living things are modified descendants
of a common ancestor that lived in the
distant past:
nWe
are descendants of ape-like ancestors
nApes
are descendants of more primitive animals
nLiving
things share common ancestors
nEvolutionary changes (mutations, natural selection) give rise to new species
nCalled
“Descent with modification” by Darwin
nEvolution
requires time, and lots of it!
