EVOLUTION

Australopithecus firstly showed bipedal locomotion.

The unit of natural selection/ survival of the fittest is
individual.
Analogous organs are similar in function.
The fossils of cro magnon mas were found in France.
Forelimbs of man, wings of bat and flippers of seal are
homologous organs.
Peripatus is called connecting link because it has characters
of both annelida and arthropoda.
Archaeopteryx is a connecting link between reptilia and aves.
Dryopithecus is also called proconsul.
Among all the pre historic man, cro magnon man has the
highest cranial capacity.
Pad like fingertips are found in tarsiers.
In Pleistocene epoch, the ancestors of horse were Equus.
Recapitulation theory was proposed by Ernst Haeckel.
Cro magnon man is the most recent ancestor of Homo
sapiens.
Miller and Urey performed an experiment to prove the origin
of life. They took gases NH3 and H2 alongwith H2O and CH4.
The book Philosophie Zoologique was written by Lamarck.
Gills of prawn and lungs of fishes are analogous organs.
Forelimbs of cat, bat, whale and human are example of
homologous organs.
The book Origin of Species was written by Charles
Darwin.
First life on earth originated from non living matter has
been explained by theory of biogenesis.
Fossilized faecal matters of animals are called coprolites.
Age of fishes Devonian period.
The theory of random genetic drift was proposed by Sewall
Wright.
The concept of inheritance of acquired characters in
support of organic evolution was proposed by Lamarck.
 Wings of birds and wings of flies are examples of analogous
organs.
Fitness of an organism in a population as said by Darwin is
the measure of the ability of the organism relative to
other organisms to pass its genes to the next generation.

Melanization in peppered moth favours the Darwinian concept

of natural selection.
The fossil man Shivapithecus has been found from Shivalik
hills of India.
Most primitive ancestor of man is Ramapithecus
punjabicus.
Analogous organs have different embryonic origin but perform
similar function.
Abiogenesis occurred about 3.6 billion years ago.
Theory of pangenesis was given by Darwin.
Primitive man originated during Pleistocene epoch.
Age of reptiles Mesozoic era.
Fossils provide most evident proof of evolution.
Life was absent in Azoic era.
Some vestigial organs in humans are: ear pinna, nictitating
membrane, mammary glands in males, appendix etc.
Reproduction ensures the continuity of life on earth.
