Study Notes
Darwin's Theory of Evolution
- Darwin's theory emphasizes that populations vary and change over time
- This theory challenged traditional views of a young Earth inhabited by unchanging species
Linnaeus' Method of Classification
- Linnaeus grouped organisms into increasingly more inclusive categories
- His classification method is hierarchical, with organisms being grouped in a nested system
Fossil Record
- The fossil record suggests that older strata carry fossils that differ greatly from living organisms
- This implies that geologic changes occur gradually over a long period of time on Earth
