Evolution: A History and a Process
Name:
Objectives:
 Describe the two main points of Darwin’s Theory.
 Describe how fossils, geographic distribution, structure and development and molecular
similarities provide evidence of evolution.
 Summarize the theory of natural selection.
 Explain microevolution in a population.
 Explain how natural selection causes the sickle cell allele to persistent and how antibiotic
resistance evolves.
