Documentation of history
-
Dating of Fossils
the methods and tactics used can only give a sequence of how the fossils were laid down and relatively how long ago they lived
-
-
-
can indirectly determine the age of an old fossil by determining the age of trapped isotopes in volcanic rock that are surrounding the trapped fossil
-
-
Speciation/Extinctions
-
there is more diversity in a lineage when there are less extinctions through out its evolution and there are more species produced
-

Mass Extinction

Big 5

Cretaceuos Extinction
-
-
-
iridium (comes from asteroids) was enriched in clay which covered up the whole earth in a huge cloud of debris blocking the sun and disturbing climate
-

-
Adaptive Radiation
periods of evolutionary change where groups of organisms form new species with new adaptations allowing them to fill new ecological rolls in their communities

Evolutionary novelties
Francois: Evolution is like tinkering, new forms come from modification of existing structures and developmental genes

Horizontal gene transfer

-
transfer could occur from: transposable elements, plasmids, viral infections, fusion of organisms
