believed living things evolved upward from deadd matter human “perfection”
inheritance of aquired characteristics–giraffe neck example

Answer 11

Nature theology

Question 12

sought to discover order in the diversity of life “for the greater glory of God” 1707-1778
gropued organisms by morphology-binomial nomenclature

Answer 12

Linnaeus

Question 13

discovers paelontology-study of fossils

Answer 13

george cuvier

Question 14

geologist; proposed theory of gradualism- profound change is the cumlulative product of slow but continous processes

Answer 14

James hutton

Question 15

known for the theory of uniformitarianism-geoloic forces have not changed throughout earth’s history

Answer 15

charles lyell

Question 16

believed that evolution was driven by an innate tendency forward greater and greater complexity, or perfection
mechanisms proposed were: use and disuse- those body parts used most became stronger and larger
inhertiance of aquired characteristics- modifications acquired can be passed to offspring

Answer 16

Jean Baptiste LAMARCK

Question 17

1809

theory shaped by several diff fields of study- geology, economics, voyage of the beagle

Answer 17

charles darwin

1859 The origin of species is published detailing his ideas with observational support

Answer 18

Charles Darwin

Question 19

heritable change in one or more characteristics of a pop or species from one generation to the next

Answer 19

evolution

due to two factors: variation and natural selection

Question 20

observations of evolutionary changes -evidences

Answer 20

fossil record

study of the geographical distruction of extince and modern speices

Answer 21

biogeography

Question 22

naturally found only in a particular location

Answer 22

endemic
