Comment: I think that it is interesting that at the same time that Darwin started his theory of evolution, geologists started to develop their theories on how the earths geography has also changed.

Insight: I think it is cool that Darwin was able to even think of this theory. If he hadn’t, I wonder if we would have ever even discovered where life originated from.]]> 2020-08-25 14:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/697301597 https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/697609385 Wilkin: How long did it take him to make his theory or to find out that different animals from different places we’re different in order to survive that weather or conditions? ]]> 2020-08-25 15:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/697609385 https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/700999748 Maddie: What did Darwin do after finding out how different animals were alike?]]> 2020-08-26 19:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/700999748 https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/701560621 Wilson: With discovering the mockingbirds in the Galapagos, how did Darwin come to terms with the different species in different environments?

I found it particularly interesting how he noticed different species inhabiting differently globally. How did he go about the studies of fossils? How did he piece together which belonged to existing animals and which didn't?]]> 2020-08-27 04:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/701791284 Katherine: Not sure if this is related to evolution but in most places squirrels are only brown, but there's also red squirrels and I know there are black squirrels in Michigan. Makes me wonder if I were to study them closer would other things also be different? 22katherinep https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/702176135 2020-08-27 12:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/702176135 22jackm https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/703333940 Jack: I thought that his connection between the glyptodont and the armadillo was very interesting, but do not see the advantage for the species to go from big to very small.

I thought the different shells of the Isabela and Hood Island Tortiouses were very interesting. I find it fascinating that the diffrent shells are meant to help the tortiuses adapt and live in their unique environments
“Darwin noticed that’s different, yet related, animal species often occupied different habitats within a local area” - this part of the reading was confusing to me.  Why were they diffrent s[ecices in a local area? Did the enviorment that the species lived in change within the area? ]]> 2020-08-28 17:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/l0ss7l3mra7s7u0g/wish/705699663
