J1. John Ray A. Developed the two-part, or
binomial, system of naming species
A2. Carolus Linnaeus B. Proposed the theory of
catastrophism.
D3. Georges Louis Leclerc, Comte de C. He knew that offspring inherited
Buffon features from their parents, and went
so far as to say that life on Earth could
be descended from a common
ancestor
C4. Erasmus Darwin D. Contributed to the debate over the
age of the Earth
B5. Georges Cuvier E. He proposed the Inheritance of
Acquired Characteristics
E6. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck F. Principle of Uniformitarianism

F7. James Hutton G. Principles of Geology

G8. Charles Lyell H. Theory of Evolution by Natural

Selection
i 9. Charles Darwin I. The idea that the best-adapted
organisms in a population would
survive to breed, passing on their
adaptations to their offspring.
H10. Alfred Russel Wallace J. Established the modern concept of
a species, noting that organisms of
one species do not interbreed with
members of another, and used it as
the basic unit of taxonomy

B. Fill in the blanks

The theory of evolution is supported by a large body of evidence. First is the occurrence
of (1) Fossils found in geologic strata. These are the remains of ancient life that once inhabited
the region, and in reconstructing these remains, we can determine similarities to modern
species. Looking at the present, the evolutionary relationships between extant species can be
seen in the presence of body parts sharing common design. These structures, called (2)
Homologous structures, are descended from a common ancestor. Sometimes, structures
which no longer serve their original function are found in modern species. These (3) Vestigial
structures are remnants of what was once useful to the ancestors of the species. Furthermore,
we can infer from the distribution of related species across the earth the connections between
ancient landmasses. Finally through (4) Molecular Biology evidence found in the DNA, we
have observed conserved genes and traceable mutations that tell us the phylogenetic
relationships of life on earth.
