Evolution

 

Lesson 2: evolutionary thinking

Who is afraid of snakes (or spiders) and why?

Learning Objectives

- You can explain the species concept.

- You can explain the binomial naming system.

What is a species?

Memphis Depay

Species

A group of organisms with similar features which can interbreed to produce fertile offspring, and which are reproductively isolated from other species

Binomial naming system

- Scientific name is the same across the world to avoid confusion

- Each name consists out of
two parts: genus and species 

- Only if both parts are the
same are they the same species

Mnemonic taxonomic categories

-"King Philip Came Over For Good Spaghetti” 

(Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)

Great similarity between species implies

1. Recent common ancestry
2. Remote common ancestry
3. Succesfull reproduction
4. Extinction

What is the human genus name?

1. Homo
2. sapiens
3. neanderthalensis
4. Vertebrate

Homo sapiens and Homo erectus belong to the same genus

1. True
2. False

Homo sapiens and Homo erectus belong to the same species

1. True
2. False

Did you achieve these learning objectives?
- You can use reasoning to explain biological phenomena using evolution theory.
- You can explain the species concept.
- You can explain the binomial naming system.
