1. Describe Darwin's trip aboard the HMS Beagle and some of the observations he made. 2. Create a horizontal timeline representing historical figures and their viewpoints before and during the development of Darwin's theory. Darwin's Theory of Evolution 1. Summarize the process of evolution by natural selection. 2. List examples of the evidence Darwin gathered from fossils and biogeography that supported his growing idea of shared ancestry. 3. Give examples of how the mechanisms of evolutionary change can be identified and studied.

Discuss what Darwin observed during his voyage on the Beagle. How did those observations lead to his theory about common descent with modification? Use the scientific method in your discussion. Step 1: What did he observe? Step 2: What was his hypothesis? Step 3: What prediction was made based on his hypothesis? Step 4: How can the prediction be tested using similar observations? Step 5: What was the conclusion?
