Evolution

Ardi is important because she is the oldest human skeleton in the whole world. She lived 4.4 million years ago.

Ardi shows upright walking with a somewhat prehensilefoot, but no "knuckle walking" like the Great Apes.

without variation's, all the members of a species would have the same traits.

a new species arises or forms!

The largest mammal that is ever known to have lived was Paraceratherium, also known as Indricotherium. This animal can be described as a large hornless rhino with an elongated neck and head relative to its body. Paraceratherium had a height of 5.5 m (18 ft), over 8 m (27 ft) in length without the tail, the ability to raise its head 7.5 m (25 ft) over the ground, and a skull length of 1.35 m (4.5 ft). In comparison, the largest land mammal today, the African Bush Elephant, has a height of only 3.5 m (11.5 ft). The tallest giraffes match the height of Paraceratherium, but it weighed 5-10 times more -- estimates range from 10 to 20 tons. Even though this mammal I just explained to you is over-all the largest mammal , the tallest was Megatherium, otherwise known as the Giant Ground Sloth, it stood 21 feet tall, and weighed 16 tons, it was the largest known ancestor of the Three-Toed Sloth.

Stabilizing selection, which acts against both extreme phenotypes and favors intermediate variants. Hence the narrowing of the bell curve in the middle.

Over time, the demands of life on land favored the evolution of plants more resistant to the drying rays of the sun, more capable of conserving water, and more capable of reproducing without water.

Physicians prescribe drugs to the patients.But the pathogens have the propensity to evolve and become "super bugs"(so called because they are drug resistant).This could lead to a bad condition of the disease or might develop some rare form of disease.The common cause of the development of drug resistance is inappropriate dosage of drugs.In that case these drugs act as natural selection agents and could not kill the entire population of pathogens this could lead to the increase in frequency of those resistant forms of pathogens.So if a physican has a clear understanding of evolution by natural selection he will not be careless about the dosage of drugs

If an animal uses something they will keep that trait if not, it will die out. For instance, the giraffe's long neck was required for survival therefore they kept the trait (their ancestor's had shorter necks, which Lamarck explained was because they inherited traits gained by their parents "who had to increasingly stretch their necks for food"--this theory was incorrect). In the first snakes, which were basically lizards because they had legs, they no longer need the legs so they lost them.

Evolution occurs at a constant rate from one generation to the next due to small genetic variations cause by mutation. This is known as the molecular clock. Eventually, one species will become many because these small genetic variations allows organisms with the same mutation to live in a slightly different environment. The finches of the Galapagos Islands is a good example of this type of evolutionary event. However, there time in Earth history where evolution seems to have occurred much faster. These leaps in evolution occurred because of changes in Earth climate. During these changes in climate, only the organisms with genes that allowed them to live in the new environments created by these climate changes survived. The others died off. Here is an example to this type of evolutionary event. Say there is a field of corn and in the field of corn there are a few plants that have a mutation that allows them to live with less water. While the rain fall is good this doesn't give those plants any better odds of survival than the others. However, in this example a period of low rain falls occurs causing a drought. The plants with the mutation do just grow up and create seeds just fine. The other corn plants die without create seeds.

All varation between individuals is due only to environmental factors

Vestigial structures are considered evidence, but no more critical than any other line of evidence in Biology and palaeontology. They're considered evidence, not because of their function, but because of the way their morphologies follow the nested hierarchies of biology: the vestigial legs of whales, for instance, have exactly the kind of shape we would have expected them to have if whales had descended from land mammals. The same goes for human tailbones and embryonic branchial ridges, the wings of emus, and so on.

Evolution is descent with modification. Or, change over time. And formally as the change in allele frequencies over time in a population of organisms. This is an observed and a observable fact. The theory is; the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains the fact of evolution. Natural selection is the main mechanism ( there are others ) that drives the adaptive change in organism that can lead to speciation, or just simple evolution.

The three major categories of evidence provided by the fossil record are body fossils (actual remains of organisms), trace fossils (impressions or structures left by past organisms), and chemical fossils (organic molecules preserved in rocks). These categories help scientists understand past life forms, their environments, and evolution over time.

The theory of evolution does not vs the law of thermodynamics. They are quite compatible since the earth is an open system.

Randomness.

Any number of base changes in DNA not coding for or controlling the coding of gene expression would have no effect on an organisms fitness.

One simple thing is diet. Large molars and massive jaws indicate that rough vegetable matter the required heavy mastication was being consumed. Australopithecus robustus, for instance.

If there is not reproductive fitness conveyed by a variant trait, then natural selection has nothing to select and nothing to promote into the populational gene pool.

The frequency of the allele represents the percentage of that allele in the gene pool

similar structures arising independently in different lineages, convergent evolution among different lineages, and adaptation by different lineages to the same selective pressures

FAD stands for Free Air Delivery which indicates the compressors capacity, it normally described in: L/Sec, m3/min or cfm. Quote: The capacity of a compressor is the full rated volume of flow of gas compressed and delivered under conditions of total temperature, total pressure, and composition prevailing at the compressor inlet. It sometimes means actual flow rate, rather than rated volume of flow. This is also called free air delivery (FAD) i.e. air at atmospheric conditions at any specific location. This term does not mean air delivered under identical or standard conditions because the altitude, barometer, and temperature may vary at different localities and at different times.

I don't exactly know why evolutionists refer to it as a theory, but I do know this.

A theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning.

According to the definition of a theory, evolution is not a theory. Evolution cannot be based on observation. No one was here to observe it. So evolution should be classified as a hypothesis not a theory. It is only a guess as to how things came about.

That organisms pass on traits acquired in their lifetimes. It was rejected in favour of Darwinian evolution, in which species and not individuals evolve, but Larmarckism is valid to a point where epigenetics is concerned.
