OBJECTIVES:

 * Students will be able to explain the puzzle faced by Darwin and other naturalists: how new species originate;
 * Students will summarize historical approaches and understandings of this phenomenon (for example, La Marquian "Pangenesis")
 * Students will accurately describe the processes that create new species (and cause older ones to face extinction) over time.
 * Students will recall and explain evidence in support of natural selection (including modern examples of the process at work).
 * Students will describe factors that effect change (or alternately prevent it) in populations.
