“My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we
suppose, but queerer than \ we *can* suppose.”.

“J.B.S. HALDANE (1892-1964)”

INTRODUCTION

E
volutionary Biology is the study of history of life forms on earth. Our earth is full of
living and non-living matter. This matter undergoes various changes from time to
time, like living organisms take birth, grow, become old and ultimately at the end they
die off. This is the life history of a particular organism.So to understand the changes
in flora and fauna that have occured over millions of years on earth, we must have an
understanding of the context of origin of life i.e., evolution of earth, of stars and
indeed of the universe itself.
In this Chapter, we will deal with the various aspects of evolutionary biology like
origin and evolution of life forms, the evidences of evolution. mechanism of evolu-
tion with special focus on evolution and origin of man.
BIOLOGY FOR NEET & AIIMS

Origin of Life : This term is called Biopoiesis


Biogeny means Origin of first life.
1. Theory of Special Creation
Almighty created everything including universe, earth, rocks, rivers, oceans, plants, animal and human beings.
According to the Bible, the world was created within six days by God. The first man was Adam and first woman
was Eve. According to Hindu mythology, the world was created by God Brahma. The first man was Manu.
2. Abiogenesis or Auto biogenesis/Theory of Spontaneous generation
This theory states that living beings were formed spontaneously from non-living things like rain, mud, air, dung,
etc. This theory has no scientific explanation and hence discarded. It was proposed by Anaximander and supported
by Aristotle etc. Von Helmont (1577 - 1644) propounded origin of mice from human sweat & wheat grains kept in
dark for 21 days.
3. Theory of Biogenesis
According to this theory, life originated from pre-existing life. This theory was developed by Francesco Redi and
was subsequently supported by Spallanzani and Louis Pasteur. This theory was also not accepted.
(i) Francesco Redi : (1688). Put dead snake, fish meat and eel in separate wide mouthed flasks, some without cover,
others covered with fine muslin and parchment paper. After a few days, he observed that maggots (larvae) did not
appear in covered flasks but were present in uncovered flasks which were regularly visited by flies. Eggs and maggots
of the flies were found to be present over muslin cover but not inside the covered flasks. Apparently the visiting
flies laid eggs in the uncovered flasks from which maggots developed.
(ii) Lazzaro Spallanzani : (1765) Boiled nutrition broth in glass flasks. The flasks were sealed immediately. Broth
remained clear indefintely in the sealed flasks, showing that organisms do not arise through spontaneous generation.
(iii) Louis Pasteur : (1864) Boiled broth in flasks having bent swan or S-shaped neck. No microrganisms were observed
in broth after keeping for several days though, broth was connected to air through the bent neck. It is because
the dirt carrying microrganisms got settled in the bent part of neck. When the neck was broken, colonies of
microorganisms soon developed over the broth showing that microrganisms have come from air.
4. Cosmozoic theory
According to Richter, life came to earth from some heavenly body such as spores through meteorites. Arrhenius
supported by theory of pansmermia.
5. Theory of Catastrophism
Proposed by Cuvier. A catastrophe completely destroys the life and each creation consisted of life quite different
from that of previous one.
6. Modern theory of life
Oparin theory or Oparin & Haldane theory ; Book of Oparin “The origin of life”.
They described that life originated in 8 steps.

Step-1 Atomic Stage :


Earth was formed about 4600 million years ago Temperature of earth was 5000 – 6000°C. As earth cooled stratification
of elements occured. The atoms of Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen.Carbon etc. formed the primitive atmosphere.

Step-2 Molecular Stage :


As the earth began to cool, its matter began to condense. But still it was so hot that water could exist only as vapour.
Large quantities of H2, N2, Water vapour, CO2, CH4 and NH3 were present, but free oxygen was not present. The
atmosphere was reducing because H atoms were most numerous and most reactive in the primitive atmosphere.

EVOLUTION

ETOOS KEY POINTS

(1) Organic evolution states “Descent with modification” according to which present day complex living organisms
have evolved from earlier simpler organisms by small and gradual changes over millions of years.
(2) Lamarck was first to propose an extensive theory of evolution.
(3) Charles Darwin explained “Theory of natural selection” in his book entitled “On the Origin of Species by Means
of Natural Selection”.
(4) Hugo de Vries (1901) proposed Mutation theory of Evolution.
(5) Modern Theory of evolution is a modified version of natural selection and is a reconciliation between Darwinism
and Mutation theory.
(6) Seymouria (Extinct reptile) is a connecting link between reptiles and mammals
(7) Limulus (Arthropoda), Latimera (bony fish) are living fossils.

BIOLOGY FOR NEET & AIIMS

 Evolutionary biology is the study of history of life forms on earth.


 Universe originated about 20 Billion years ago by thermo-nuclear explosion called Big-Bang.
 Earth originated about 4.5 Billion year ago.
 Stellar distances are measured in light years.
 Life appeared 500 million years after the formation of eath i.e. almost four billion years back.
 According to theory of spontaneous generation life came out of decaying and rotting matter like straw, mud etc.
 Louis pasteur by careful experimentation demonstrated that life comes only from pre-existing lif e.
 Oparin and Haldane propsoed that the first form of life could have come from pre-existing non living organ:
molecules and that formation of life was preceded by chemical evolution.
 To prove chemical evolution in 1953, Miller created electric discharge in a closed flask containing CH4 H2 NH3 and
water vapour at 800°C. He observed formation of amino acids.
 The first non cellular forms of life could have originated 3 billion years ago.
 Theory of special creation has three connotations-
 All living organisms that we see today were created as such.
 The diversity was always the same since creation and will be the same in future.
 The earth is about 4000 years old.
 All these ideas were strongly challenged during the nineteenth century based on observations made during a sea
voyage in a sail ship called H.M.S. Beagle round the world, Charles Darwin concluded that existing living forms
share similarities to varying degrees not only among themselves but also with life forms that existed million of years
ago.
 The fitness, according to Darwin, Refene ultimately and only to reproductive fitness.
 Alfered Wallace a naturalist who worked in malay Archipelago.“According to 'Panspermia theory' unit of life called
'spores' were transferred to different planets indcluding earth
 The geological history of earth closely correlates with the biological history of earth.
 Fossils are remains of hard parts of life forms found in Rocks.
 Different aged rock sediments contain fossils of different life foms who probably died during the formation of the
particular sediment.
 Fossils represent extinct organism ( e.g. Dinosaurs) Paleontology - study of fossils.
 Homology present in organisms shows divergent evolution and analogy shows convergent evolution.
 The same structure developed along different divergent evolution and these structures are homologous. Homology
indicates common ancestory.
e.g. - Forelimbs of all mammals.
 Visceral organs of vertebrates like heart, brain.
 Thorn and tendrils of Bougainvillea and cucurbita.
 Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution. Different structures evolving for the same function.
Similar habitat has resulted in selection of similar adaptive features in different groups of organisms.
e.g. - Eyes of octopus and mammals.
 Flippers of Penguins and Dolphins.
 Wings of butterfly and birds.
 Potato and Sweet potato.
 Proteins and genes performing a given function among diverse organisms give clues to common ancestry.
 According to industral melanisation phenomenon in a mixed population, those that can better adapt, survive and
increase in a population size. No variant is completely wiped out.
