However, 1859 didn't have the advanced technology we have today. He wasn't able to look at animals' DNA or even our own DNA. He didn't even heckin' have any idea that mutations could occur and alter our DNA, or that switch DNA existed. Darwin has/had a lot to learn about it. We wouldn't know any of this stuff if it wasn't for Darwin.]]> 2022-04-29 15:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164535972 gueregab019 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164536643 when darwin grew up he wanted learn how animals looked different but do the same thing, like how birds can fly, but there are so many difference between their looks soon darwin found out that it was on the animals and the genes.in today's time we have discovered a tan for example, scientists discovered that we share 99% of D.N.A with chimps. we have discovered more than darwin could ever imagined.]]> 2022-04-29 15:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164536643 boonetyl017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164540359 Since Darwin passed, humankind has made many advancements off of his idea of evolution. At first nobody believed Darwin when he said humans are closely related to chimps and evolved from them. Now, almost everybody believes that humans evolved from chimps, but how? Most of your DNA isn't for coding proteins, it is for switching on or off other genes. A mutation in a switch occurred so the human jaw muscle got smaller and weaker so the brain can grow. Apes still have their jaw muscles very strong so their brains can't grow as big as human brains. The human brain can grow until the age of 30, while the chimpanzee's brain can only grow until 3 or 4. Humans share almost a 99% DNA match with chimps. I think Darwin was really smart and cool.]]> 2022-04-29 15:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164540359 joneslok017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164540761 Darwin never knew how it work at first so he started to see how it works.He found that the animals how they would evolved into the environment. when he passed away, the genetic evolution opened even more puzzles that Darwin could have never imagined. in today's time, we have discovered a ton. for example, scientists discovered that we share 99% of D.N.A with chimps. the genetic tree has gotten ever more confused. The birds have big beaks on some islands so they can open up the seeds.]]> 2022-04-29 15:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164540761 stroccad019 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164540908 In class we learned how the process of evolution worked and how Darwin thought that all organisms had a common ancestor. For example, the phylogenetic tree is an example of evolution because it shows the process of evolution and how things are related to one another. We also learned that as evolution happened animals could adapt and/or lose limbs. The video states that a whale came from a land animal because of the bones it has in its body. Even though they don't have four limbs like their ancestors they still have some of the bones that they had when they had 4 limbs. When Darwin traveled to the Galapagos Islands he wasn't expecting to invent speciation or discover evolution he was just there to collect. He became one of the most important scientists to ever live. Animals that Darwin saw at the islands were very interesting like for example, there was a type of Finch that had a bulky big beak. But on the other islands in different living conditions there are Finch's that have thin long beaks for getting into flowers. There is so much more that Darwin didn't know but this shows how far we have come in our understanding of evolution and natural selection.]]> 2022-04-29 15:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164540908 winchadd017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164543307 darwen was a collector so he traveled a lot. he went to an island that had tons of different animals. and when he was collecting some of the birds he realized that they all had different beaks based on what living conditions they were in. he wrote down all his thoughts on a piece of paper, of how they would have different beaks. thats how it all started, he published his book to a library and people were amazed on how he saw the world. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164543307 mailaayansharma https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164545338 Charles Darwin was a Naturalist that was born on Feb 12, 1809. He came up with the theory of evolution. He believed that all living organisms descended from a common ancestor and that all of life was related. He went to the Galapagos as a collector and found many fossils, some of them included dinosaur fossils. He also found bird fossils on each island that had different beaks. He thought that they were just different species but then he found out that all of the birds that he had found were alike. Only the beaks were different, some birds had bigger beaks, some had smaller and some had thicker. He came to think that SOMEHOW, all of the birds had evolved. But he didn't know how. He studied more fossils he had collected and looked at the dinosaur fossil. He was surprised when he saw that the dinosaur fossil was almost identical to the bird ones. There was another proof/evidence that all life was related. He found out that different species had evolved for their own survival. Ex: Strong beaks must have been for birds that lived on islands where seeds were the common food source, the strong beaks must have been used to crack seeds. Only the organisms that evolved to fit the circumstances for survival would have lived on. He called this natural Selection. He published his work but it was not complete. He still didn't know the answers to some questions. But thanks to our technologies, we can continue Darwin's research. For Ex: Darwin Never knew about DNA and genes.]]> 2022-04-29 16:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164545338 gaspejac017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164547625 Charles Darwin was a scientist who realized how every animal on earth was related to one another and he came up with the theory that all animals come from a common ancestor. Even though Charles Darwin was a very smart man there were still things that he never knew. Darwin found variation by looking at his kids. 
There are many questions that Darwin's theory of genetic evolution opened for other scientists. Darwin didn't have the tools that we have today that we use to understand the genetics of animals. an example of this is that we have learned that humans share ninety nine percent of their D.N.A with chimps. Even without the technology we have today Darwin was able to create this theory and find the evidence through fossils and looking at the animals at the Galapagos islands. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164547625 colli84660 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164547788 In This film, we start of by learning about Charles Darwin. As a child, he enjoyed playing outside and exploring the truly wonder full earth. his father was a rather successful physician. his mother helped around the house. Darwin was going to become a doctor. he saw a surgery practice on a baby (take note that there is a lack of medical understanding at the time) and after that vowed he would never be involved in the medical industry. he then began to take interest in    sciences and by his mid twenty's was and Young man with a degree in nature sciences. he was a bright young man and he was then offered a trip to observe  south american animals that would change the word biology forever. he noticed that the animals would look different depending on were they were born. when he went home with a few specimens that he had  collected. his mind began to race. he later wrote the book "origin of species "  that is now iconic and was a crazy game changer. with modern science we can now understand what evolution is.]]> 2022-04-29 16:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164547788 sariben019 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164547945 Darwin was an amazing and intelligent person who traveled to the galapagos islands when he was in his 20's. What he discovered was mind boggling. All the animals were different on each island but only by a little. For example he saw that the birds were all perfectly adapted with a beak for the environment they were in. Some had a beak for crushing nuts and some for getting nectar. He had an idea that only the birds that could survive and eat the food would survive to pass down the trait. But what he couldn't explain is exactly how the beaks changed. He didn't know what could happen to change into a diverse population of these example birds. What we Darwin never knew was about DNA and how a little mutation could change a fish into a bird.]]> 2022-04-29 16:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164547945 luptoker018 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164548404 Our understanding of evolution has advanced greatly since Darwin's time. He went to the Galapogos as a collector and when he got back from his trip he started thinking about how the finches on the different islands. He observed that they were mostly alike but how their beaks were different based on which island they were from. That's when he thought up natural selection and how species adapt to their environment. Since he was alive great progress has been made in understanding evolution. So far we have decoded the entire human genome. Now we can compare our DNA to other animals DNA. Since his time we also know about switch DNA the part of our DNA that turns on and off certain genes. We also know more about our brains and how they grow which was a big mystery to Darwin. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164548404 nadhezan017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164548734 In the video What Darwin Never Knew, they talked about biological evolution and every little thing involving it. This video showed Darwin's remarkable discoveries. His biggest idea was the phylogenetic tree, which to this day helps many scientists with the idea of evolution. The video talked about Darwin's brilliance and what lead him on his amazing journey to create the idea of biological evolution. As smart as he was, there were still things to be discovered. Darwin did still have questions even he could not answer. For example, the video shared much about genetics and how there is a great difference in all the living things we see today on Earth. Still to answer these questions, scientists have to go back to Darwin's ideas. With all the technology we have now scientists are getting closer and closer everyday with experiments with DNA and more. 150 years ago is when Darwin's biological evolution idea came along, now it is the explanation for life. Thanks to him we have a reason for the diversity of life. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164548734 bilim57037 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164553856 Charles Darwin was a scientist who discovered all animals are related. But even though Charles Darwin was a genius didn't know everything. After Charles Darwin passed away a lot of scientists had discovered a lot of things that Darwin would never know. Darwin died on April 19, 1882 and he didn't know what DNA was which all scientist in this time know about it. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164553856 hussmjoh018 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164563842 Have you ever wanted to know how the process of evulution works? 
well a very old scienctist named Charles Darwin was wondering the same thing and he wanted to know. So he got to work and he would swaub himself and look at his DNA alot and other animals. he also found how every organism had a ansestor in common. Many years later diffrent scientist went to island to study they knew was going to take sometime beucuse there are over 2,000,000 diffrent species they tested the same animal on 3 diffrent island and and for the diffrent islands and enviorment the species changed the birds had diffrent beeks and the tertles had diffrent shells the birds beeks were change based on how they lived they would have thin beeks for eating flower pollin have thicker beeks if they ate hard nuts or seeds. and some scienctits found out how some animals over a very long time either add parts or lose some limbs. they add or lose limbs based on what they need to survive. some people didnt beleve that humans are very a like. scienctists say he was only the begging of what they discoverd.]]> 2022-04-29 16:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164563842 jordamar017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164566023 We discovered bits of our DNA called switches that turn on the genes that make proteins. In addition, we discovered sections of our DNA that throw the switches, which activate the protein making genes. The fact that we can look at animal DNA and our own DNA is in itself a very impressive accomplishment.  We also discovered Tiktaalik, the transitional fish fossil which provides evidence that all four legged creatures are related to fish. And that the bone plates of our skull are not fused together like that of an apes, allowing space for a larger brain. A mutation occurred in the jaw muscle, it was smaller than an apes, and we chew with less force than an ape, which allows for that space for our brains. Darwin really helped us expand our understanding of evolution. It is kind of sad he didn't get to see any of these advancements. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164566023 kendrmad019 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164637873  Darwin was a very smart scientist that worked on DNA and compaired them between animals and humans.Darwin started collecting different animals dna and compaired them.]]> 2022-04-29 17:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164637873 goodimic017 https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164861366 This film is about Charles Darwin and the things he discovered.

Darwin also came up with the idea that all life on Earth has a common ancestor. Although Darwin was a very smart man he didn't have all of the tools that we today use to understand genetics. Since Darwin was alive we've discovered switch DNA which is the part of DNA that activates or deactivates certain genes.

Darwin knew that animals changed but not quite how. Now days from the many discoveries that have been made we know that as time passed animals adapted. As adaption was made new generations of the same species appearances were changed. One reason being mutations. Darwin realized not everybody was the same but there was variation.  Darwin was the founder of the phylogenetic tree. On his trip to the Galapagos Islands he realized how some of the same creatures looked different from each other. For example, he saw the different types of beaks different birds had. He came to the idea that as several generations evolve new species are made causing evolution.]]> 2022-04-29 20:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/benhunter2/az3f6r4k0bp9200p/wish/2164878698
