Darwin
Final Jeopardy
$100 Darwin
What are Darwin’s four
postulates?
$100 Answer Darwin
1.
2.
3.
4.
In every population there is variety.
Some of that variety is passed on to offspring.
In every generation there are more individuals
born than can survive.
Over time, the individuals who are the most fit
for their environment will survive better to
reproduce.

Darwin identified thirteen different species of finches
in the Galapagos, which he determined had all
descended from a common ancestor. These finches
had developed different beak shapes to adapt to the
various food sources on different islands. This is an
example of _________________.

On the Origin of Species
$400 Darwin
What is speciation and how is it related
to the picture below?
$400 Answer Darwin
Speciation is the formation of a
new species
$500 Darwin
Where did Darwin conduct most of his
research that lead him to develop his ideas
about descent with modification through
natural selection?
$500 Answer Darwin
The Galapagos Islands
$100 Evidence
