Principles of Evolution•How Did Evolutionary Thought Evolve?–Early biological thought did not include the concept ofevolution.–Exploration of new lands revealed a staggering diversity of life.–Fossil discoveries showed that life had changed over Time.–Some scientists devised non-evolutionary explanations for fossils.–A few scientists speculated that life had evolved with time.–Geology provided evidence that Earth is exceedingly old.–Some pre-Darwin biologists proposed mechanisms forevolution.–Darwin and Wallace proposed a mechanism of evolution. 衬塑复合管涂塑复合管钢塑复合管消防涂覆钢管Principles of Evolution •Darwin studied a group of closely related species of finches on the Galapagos Islands. •Each species specializes in eating a different type of food and has a beak of characteristic size and shape, because natural selection has favored the individuals best suited to exploit each food source efficiently.•Aside from the differences in their beaks, the finches are quite similar.rge ground finch, beak suited to large seedsb.Small ground finch, beak suited to small seedsc.Warbler finch, beak suited to insectsd.Vegetarian tree finch, beak suited to leavesHow Does Natural Selection Work?•Modern Genetics confirmed Darwin’s assumption of inheritance.•Natural Selection modifies populations over time.•Fossils provide evidence of evolutionary change over time.•Comparative Anatomy gives evidence of Descent with Modification.•Homologous structures provide evidence of Common Ancestry.•Functionless structures are inherited from ancestors.•Many organisms have vestigial structures that serve no apparent function. The (a) salamander, (b) whale, and (c) snake all inherited hindlimb bones from a commonancestor; the bones remain functional in the salamander but are vestigial in the whale and snake.How Do We Know That Evolution HasOccurred?•Some anatomical similarities result from evolution in similar environments •Embryological similarity suggests common ancestry•Modern biochemical and genetic analyses reveal relatedness among diverse organisms.•Convergent evolution can produce outwardly similar structures that differ anatomically. The wings of (a)insects and (b) birds and the sleek, streamlined shapes of (c) seals and (d) penguins are examples of suchanalogous structures.•The early embryonic stages of a (a) lemur, (b) pig, and (c) human show strikingly similar anatomical features.What Is the Evidence That Populations Evolveby Natural Selection?•Controlled Breeding Modifies Organisms •Evolution by Natural Selection Occurs Today –When fewer predators are present, brighter coloration can evolve.–Natural Selection can lead to pesticide resistance.–Experiments can demonstrate Natural Selection.–Selection acts on random variation to favor the traitsthat work best in particular environmentsDog diversity illustrates artificial selection• A comparison of (a) the ancestral dog (the gray wolf, Canis lupus) and (b) various breeds of modern dogs. Artificial selection byhumans has caused a great divergence in size and shape of dogs in only a few thousand years.How Are Populations, Genes, andEvolution Related?•Genes and the environment interact to determine traits.•The gene pool is the sum of the genes in a population.•Evolution is the change over time of allele frequencies within a population.•The equilibrium population is a hypothetical population that does not evolve.What Causes Evolution?•Mutations are the source of Genetic Variability –Mutations are rare, but important–Mutations are not Goal-Directed•Mutations occur spontaneously•Gene flow between populations changes Allele Frequencies.•Allele frequencies may drift in small populations.–Population size matters–A population bottleneck Is an example of Genetic Drift –Population bottlenecks reduce variationThe Effect of Population Size on Genetic Drift •Each colored line represents one computer simulation of the change over time in the frequency of allele A in a (a) large or (b) small population in which two alleles, A and a,were initially present in equal proportions, and in whichrandomly chosen individuals reproduced.Population Bottlenecks Reduce Variation •(a) A population bottleneck may drastically reduce genetic and phenotypic variation because the few organisms that survive may carry similar sets of alleles. Both (b) the northernelephant seal and (c) the cheetah passed through population bottlenecks in the recent past, resulting in an almost total lossof genetic diversity.What Causes Evolution?•Isolated founding populations may producebottlenecks•Mating within a population Is almost never random•All genotypes are not equally beneficial–Antibiotic resistance evolves by natural selection –Penicillin resistance illustrates key points about evolutionA Human Example of the Founder Effect •An Amish woman with her child, who suffers from a set of genetic defects known as Ellis–van Creveld syndrome (short arms and legs, extra fingers, and, in some cases, heart defects). The founder effect accounts for the prevalence of Ellis–van Creveld syndrome among the Amish residents of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.A Compromise Between Opposing Pressures •(a) A male giraffe with a long neck is at a definite advantage in combat to establish dominance.•(b) But a giraffe's long neck forces it to assume an extremely awkward and vulnerable position when drinking. Thus, drinking and male–male contests place opposing evolutionary pressures on neck length.How Does Natural Selection Work?•Natural selection stems from unequal reproduction •Natural selection acts on phenotypes•Some phenotypes reproduce more successfully than others.–An environment has non-living and living components–Competition acts as an agent of selection–Both predator and prey act as agents of selection–Sexual selection favors traits that help an organism mate •Selection can influence populations in three ways –Directional selection shifts character traits in a specific direction –Stabilizing selection acts against individuals who deviate too far from the average–Disruptive selection adapts individuals within a population to different habitats.Three Ways that Selection Affects a PopulationOver Time• A graphical illustration of three ways natural and/or sexual selection, acting on a normal distribution of phenotypes, can affect a population over time. In all graphs, the beige areas represent individuals that are selected against—that is, do not reproduce as successfully as do the individuals in the purplerange.。

1.概述“进化逆行”的概念
2.探讨进化逆行的原因
3.分析进化逆行带来的影响
4.总结“进化逆行”的优缺点
正文
在生物学中,进化被视为一种不断向前发展的过程,物种通过自然选择和适者生存来逐步演化。
然而,有一种现象被称为“进化逆行”,即生物在演化过程中出现了退化或恢复到祖先特征的现象。
本文将从进化逆行的原因、影响以及优缺点等方面进行解析。
首先,进化逆行的原因可以归结为以下几点。
一是环境变化,当环境发生剧变时,生物需要适应新的环境,有时这会导致生物回到祖先的特征,以适应新的生存挑战。
二是遗传漂变,由于随机的基因突变和遗传流失,一些基因可能被误删或误复制,导致祖先特征的重现。
三是基因调控,生物体内的基因相互作用和调控,可能会导致某些祖先特征被重新激活。
其次,进化逆行带来的影响是多方面的。
一方面,它可能带来生物适应新环境的可能性,为生物在复杂多变的环境中生存提供了一种策略。
另一方面,进化逆行可能导致生物的适应性降低,因为它可能使生物回到较低的适应水平。
此外,进化逆行也为研究基因功能和生物演化提供了有价值的信息。
最后,我们来探讨一下进化逆行的优缺点。
从优势来看,进化逆行有助于生物在极端环境下生存,并为生物提供新的进化路径。
而从劣势来看,它可能导致生物适应性降低,甚至产生退化。
综上所述,进化逆行作为一种生物演化现象,既有其积极的一面,也有其消极的一面。

when evolution runs backwards解析 -回复
when evolution runs backwards解析-回复当进化倒退:从虚构到现实进化倒退,作为一种具有出色想象力的概念,在科学幻想小说和电影中经常被探讨和描绘。
然而,如果我们一步一步地分析这一概念,或许可以发现它在现实世界中的真正含义和可能性。
在这篇文章中,我们将逐步回答“当进化倒退时会发生什么”,并讨论可能发生的影响和结果。
首先,我们需要明确“进化倒退”的定义。
从严格意义上讲,进化是一种适应环境的过程,导致物种在漫长的时间尺度上变得更适应其生存环境。
这种进化是由基因突变和自然选择驱动的。
因此,进化倒退可以理解为物种适应环境的过程反向,其中物种逐渐变得不再适应其生存环境。
然而,要想实现进化的倒退是一个极其复杂和现实上不可能的任务。
首先,我们必须考虑到进化是一种非常缓慢的过程,需要漫长的时间来发生。
事实上,一个物种要想从一种形式进化到另一种形式往往需要几百万年的时间。
所以,如果我们想要逆转进化,将物种回变到更原始的形态,将需要更长的时间和复杂的机制。
当我们想象进化倒退时,我们可以考虑各种可能发生的情况。
首先,物种的生理特征可能会逐渐退化,导致它们失去适应生存环境的能力。
例如,如果我们考虑陆地哺乳动物,它们可能会逐渐失去四肢和其他适应地面生活的特征,变得像原始的蛇或蜥蜴一样,依靠爬行和滑行。
其次,进化倒退可能会导致物种失去已经获得的智力和认知能力。
这意味着物种可能会变得更加原始和本能驱使,与其说是以理性思考,不如说是凭借基本的生存本能。
这将极大地限制物种的发展和适应能力。
除了生理和认知特征的退化,进化倒退可能会对物种的社会行为产生深远影响。
一些物种可能会变得更加依赖于本能驱使和基本的生存反应,而不是社会结构和合作。
这可能会导致更加单独生活的物种,减少社会系统的复杂性和合作的机会。
然而,尽管进化倒退在想象中有着很多有趣和引人入胜的潜力,要在现实生活中实现这一过程是极其困难的,甚至可以说几乎不可能。

Evolution
The essence of Darwin's theory is that all living creatures descended from a single ancestor. All the plants, animals, and other organisms that exist today are products of random mutation and natural selection—or
But time has not been kind to Darwinism. Paleontologists have certainly found more fossils, but these fossils have only deepened the problem. As the fossils piled up, what paleontologists discovered was not gradual change, but stability and sudden appearance. It seems that most fossil species appear all at once, fully formed, and change very little throughout their stay in the fossil evidence.

进化的英语单词是“Evolution”。
以下是一篇关于“进化”的1500字英文文章。
Evolution: The Grand Narrative of Life's Transformation Evolution, a fundamental concept in biology, represents the gradual change in the characteristics of a population over generations. It is a process that is both diverse and unifying, shaping the vast array of life forms on our planet. From the simplest microorganisms to the most complex organisms, evolution is the thread that connects all life, past, present, and future.The theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century, revolutionized our understanding of life's diversity. Darwin observed that individuals within a species vary in their traits and that these traits are heritable, passed from parents to offspring. He also noticed that not all individuals survive to reproduce; those with traits that are better suited to their environment have a higher chance of survival and passing their genes to the next generation. This process, known as natural selection, leads to the accumulation of beneficial traits over time, resulting in the evolution of new species.The evidence for evolution is vast and comes from multiplefields of study. Fossil records provide a window into the past, showing how species have changed over millions of years. Comparative anatomy reveals similarities in the bodily structures of different species, indicating a common ancestor. Genetics demonstrates that all life forms share a common genetic code, with slight variations accounting for the differences between species.Evolution is not a random process but is guided by several mechanisms. Genetic mutation, the random change in the DNA sequence, introduces new variations into a population. Genetic drift, which occurs when a small population founders a new one, can lead to significant changes in allele frequencies. Gene flow, the transfer of genes between populations, can introduce new genetic variations and increase genetic diversity. Finally, natural selection acts as a filter, selecting for traits that increase an individual's fitness in a given environment.The impact of evolution on our understanding of life is profound. It explains the origin of species, the diversity of life on Earth, and our place in the natural world. Evolutionary theory has also influenced many other fields, including medicine, agriculture, and conservation biology. By understanding how species evolve, we can develop more effectivestrategies for managing natural resources and protecting biodiversity.Despite its widespread acceptance in the scientific community, evolution remains a controversial topic in some social and religious circles. This controversy often stems from misunderstandings about the theory of evolution or its implications for human society and morality. However, it is important to note that evolution is a scientific theory supported by extensive evidence and is constantly being refined and expanded through new research.In conclusion, evolution is the grand narrative of life's transformation on Earth. It is a process that is both ongoing and ever-changing, shaping the diverse array of species that inhabit our planet. By understanding evolution, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world and our place within it. The theory of evolution by natural selection remains one of the most significant scientific achievements of our time and continues to inspire new discoveries and insights into the mysteries of life.。
“Evolution”含义探究
“Evolution”含义探究摘要:“evolution”一词先后被用在胚胎学的预成论和后成论中,分别用来描述预先存在的有机体结构的展开以及高等动物胚胎对低等动物形式的重演。
19世纪初它又被添加上了物种改变的含义。
钱伯斯的发育进化论使“进化”与“进步”这一对观念紧密联系在了一起。
达尔文很少使用“evolution”,他的进化论与发育进化论迥然不同。
从进化论中剥除进步的观念,是“达尔文革命”的未竟事业。
关键词:进化;进步;发育进化论;达尔文;钱伯斯abstract: “evolution” was first used in preformationism and then in epienesis, respectively, to describe the unfoldin of preexisted oranic structure and the recapitulation of the forms of lower animals by the embryo of hiher animals. then the meanin of species chane was added to it in the beinnin of the nineteenth century. the developmental evolutionism that robert chambers proposed made the idea of evolution closely connected with the idea of proress. charles darwin seldom used “evolution”, for his theory is totally different from the developmental evolutionism. divestin the idea of proress from the theory of evolution is what the socalled “darwinian revolution” needs to plete.key words: evolution; proress; developmental evolutionism; charles darwin; robert chambers“evolution”是进化论的一个核心词,它总是与达尔文的名字联系在一起的。

evolution名词解释
evolution名词解释
"Evolution"(进化)是一个英文名词,它通常用于描述生物学、社会学、科学理论等领域,指的是事物逐步发展、变化和演变的过程。
1.生物学中的进化:生物学中,进化是指生物种群内基因频率、形态特征和生态功能随时间的变化和适应过
程。
这个过程可以是自然选择、基因突变、基因重组等多种因素共同作用的结果。
2.社会学中的进化:在社会学领域,进化通常指社会、文化、技术和制度的演变过程,例如人类社会的历史
发展,从古代社会向现代社会的过渡。
3.科学理论中的进化:进化也用于描述科学理论的发展过程,如科学学科的发展,理论从提出、验证到被接
受并发展的过程。
总的来说,"evolution"描述了事物从简单、原始状态到更复杂、高级状态的渐进变化和发展过程。

Special Creation
• Has also been called: • “Creation Science” or
• This is Darwin’s theory!
• Evolution has occurred by “descent with modification”. All living organisms have descended from a common ancestor.
• Darwins’s theory has 4 postulates:
➢ More specifically, biological evolution is a “change in the genetic composition of a population of organisms from one generation to the next”.

If the earth itself has changed, have living organisms changed?
Evidence: ❖ Direct observation ❖ Vestigial structures:
- human appendix, or tailbone (coccyx)
some of these are transitional forms (e.g., Archaeopteryx a reptile with wings)

Distance Between Species
• In character-based methods, we try to minimize the number of mutations • Species which look similar should be evolutionary more related ⇒ Define distance betw two species to be number of mutations need to change one species to another • Try to construct a phylogeny based on distance info among species

When to Use Which Phylogenetic Prediction Method?

Definition of Phylogeny
• Phylogeny: Reconstruction of evolutionary history of a set of species • Usually, it is a leaf-labeled tree where the internal nodes refer the hypothetical ancestors and the leaves are labeled by the species • The edges of the tree represent the evolutionary relationships
Copyright 2007 © Limsoon Wong
Caution
• Genomes of most organisms have complex origin – Some parts of the genome are passed by vertical descent thru normal reproductive cycle – Some parts may have arisen by horizontal xfer of genetic material thru a virus, symbiosis, etc. ⇒ When a particular gene is being subjected to phylogenetic analysis, the evolutionary history of that gene may not coincide with the evolutionary history of another gene ⇒ Try to use molecules that carry a great deal of evolutionary history, like mitochondrial DNA, and ribosomal RNA
• Let S be a set of species • Let M be distance matrix for S • If there is a rooted tree T where – every edge has a positive weight and every leaf is labeled by a distinct species in S; and – for every i, j ∈ S, Mij = the sum of the edge weights along the path from i to j • Then M is called an additive metric • The corresponding tree T is called additive tree
Copyright 2007 © Limsoon Wong
Distance Based
• Input: Distance matrix M satisfying constraints – M should satisfy the metric space – M is an additive metric – M is ultrametric (optional) • Output: Tree of degree 3 that is consistent with M
• A distance metric M which satisfies – Symmetry
Mij = Mji ≥ 0
– Self identity
Mii =0
– Triangular inequality
Mij + Mjk ≥ Mik

Application of Phylogeny
• • • • • • • • Understanding history of life Understanding rapidly mutating viruses (like HIV) Help to predict protein/RNA structure Help to do multiple sequence alignment Explaining and predicting gene expression Explaining and predicting ligands Help to design enhanced organisms Help to design drug

Methods for Phylogenetic Reconstruction
• Maximum parsimony Exercise: What are the characteristics of max • Distance parsimony? – Straightforward – Applicable to large number of seqs ⇒Commonly used in mol biol labs ⇒ We consider only this one here! • Maximum likelihood – Require more understanding of evolutionary models on which they are based – Involve exponential number of steps ⇒Limited to small number of seqs

Evolution
• • • • • Recall that DNA encodes blue print of life Living things pass DNA info to their children Due to mutations, DNA is changed a little bit After a long time, different species would evolve Phylogenetics studies genetic relationship between different species

Phylogeny Reconstruction
Rooted and Unrooted Tree
• Normally, the reconstructed tree is unrooted since estimating the root is scientifically difficult • Rooted tree can be reconstructed by systematic biologists based on using outgroup – Outgroup is a species which is clearly less related with all other species in the phylogeny
Copyright 2007 © Limsoon Wong
Phylogeny: An Example
• By looking at extent of conserved positions in the multiple seq alignment of different groups of seqs, can infer when they last shared an ancestor ⇒ Construct “family tree” or phylo Limsoon Wong
Finding Distance Betw Two Species
• Consider two species with these DNA fragments: – Species i: (A, C, G, C, T) – Species j: (C, C, A, C, T) • 2 mismatches, so can estimate distance to be 2 • Looks reasonable, as 2 mismatches can be thought as 2 mutations • However, this fails to capture “multiple” mutations on the same site • In practice, need to apply some corrective distance transformation
