His book "An Essay on the Principles of Population", a book about "survival of the fittest" greatly influenced Darwin.
A _____ poll in 2004 revealed that only 1/3 of Americans accept Darwin's theory of evolution.
A fossil of a single tooth from a wild pig that scientists believed was from a man type creature.
_____ equilibrium is a theory that new species evolve suddenly over brief periods of time, followed by longer periods during which there is no genetic change.
The theory that is supported by the idea of Structural Homology - similar structures are assumed to indicate a common designer, then supports intelligent design. Evidence of a common design not a common ancestry.
In the 1900's, _____ discovered a large number of fossils (over 60,000) in Cambrian rock, including thousands of fossils of complex organisms.
The _______ is based on two assumptions: (1) it is an accurate picture of the earth's sedimentary rocks and the fossils formed in them. (2) The layers of sedimentary rock were laid down over eons of time.
Rock formed from cooling lava.
ock formed by layers of sediment (*this rock forms the geological column)
_____ either leave the genetic code the same or they delete/reduce it.
A protein involved in cellular metabolism.
The ______ rock contained representatives from all major animal phyla. This means they were probably all alive at the same time. This discovery showed the geological column as presented in textbooks to be flawed.

He was a controversial geologist who coined the phrase "The present is the key to the past"
_____ of species means that each individual species was specially created by God and could never fundamentally change.
_____ Biology is the study in science that looks at the structure of various chemicals within organisms and the DNA sequences that lead to those chemicals.
Rock formed by extreme heat and/or pressure
Advancement in the knowledge of _____ and DNA have put an end to structural homology as support for the Macroevolutionist.
A theory of evolution that is a synthesis of Darwin's theory in terms of natural selection and modern population genetics. (Gradualist)
Macroevolutionist see this as a possible link between birds and reptiles because it had teeth and claws on its wings.
Instead of giving credit to GOD for the diversity, Darwin considered the possibility of a common ____ - a creature from which they all evolved.
_____ selection is a process that results in the adaptation of an organism to its environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution
