ADAPTION &
NATURAL SELECTION
EVOLUTION EXAMPLE:
- Ostriches and emus evolved to have larger bodies
and feet made for running on land, which left them
without the ability to fly
ADAPTION
Adaptation is the ability of an organism to
withstand extreme environmental conditions
physically. Adaptation can be interpreted first by
developing a limited range of modifications to
individual organisms. However, the changes they
develop are not permanent nor are passed to their
offspring. The second type refers to population
size and genetic traits that allow them to live in
certain environments.

ADAPTATION
EXAMPLE:
-The way some plants have adapted to life in dry, hot
deserts. Plants called succulents have adapted to this
climate by storing water in their short, thick stems
and leaves.
NATURAL SELECTION
Natural selection it the process which living
organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a
population are naturally variable, meaning they
are all different in some ways. This means that
some individuals have traits better suited to the
environment than others.

NATURAL SELECTION
EXAMPLE:
-Evolving long necks has enabled giraffes to feed on
leaves that others can't reach, giving them a
competitive advantage. A better food source, those
with longer necks were able to survive to reproduce
and so pass on the characteristic to the succeeding
generation.

TYPES OF FINCHES:
GALÁPOGOS ISLANDS
TYPES OF FINCHES:
4. Homo erectus: - first fossil found in Java 1891- these fossils were named
pithecanthropus erectus-considered the missing link between men and
apes- specimen was found to have had large cranial capacities and is believed to
have loved in communities.- used tools made of quartz and bones- made fires-
believed to have resided in caves
