  • Adaptation
    • Explaining development of different species
      • Mention isolation/ separation/ splitting
        • By geographical barrier.
      • Different alleles in the species that were separated.
      • Different conditions: climate; predators; food
      • Therefore natural selection occurred.
    • Why scientists are uncertain about how life started on earth
      • There is a lack of evidence
        • Because early organisms had soft bodies therefore were decomposed quite quickly.
  • How Fossils provide evidence of evolution

    • 1. Fossils are remains of organisms that lived a long time ago.
    • 2. Fossils show the changes over time.
    • 3. Fossils have similar features to modern day animals
  • So the DIFFERENCE meant that the species were unable to interbreed.
