Slide 1 CHAPTER 17 The Evolution of Animals PowerPoint Lecture Slides for Essential Biology, Second Edition & Essential Biology with Physiology Neil Campbell, Jane Reece, and Eric Simon Presentation prepared by Chris C. Romero Slide 2 THE ORIGINS OF ANIMAL DIVERSITY Animal life began in the Precambrian seas with the evolution of multicellular creatures that ate other organisms Slide 3 What Is an Animal? Animals Figure 17.2
Slide 4 Most animals reproduce sexually and then proceed through a series of developmental stages Haploid Sperm Egg 2 1 Meio sis Fertiliz ation Zygote (fertilized egg) Adult 3 Diploid Blastula (cross section) 7 Metamorphosis Digestive tract Primitive gut Outer cell layer (ectoderm) 6 4 5 Early gastrula Larva Inner cell layer (endoderm) Figure 17.3 Later gastrula Opening Slide 5 Most animals have muscle cells and nerve cells that control the muscles Slide 6 Early Animals and the Cambrian Explosion Animals probably evolved from a colonial protist that lived in the Precambrian seas Digestive cavity Reproductive cells 1 Early colony of protists (aggregate of identical cells) 2 Hollow sphere (shown in cross section) Somatic cells 3 Beginning of cell specialization 4 Infolding 5 Gastrula-like protoanimal Figure 17.4
Slide 7 At the beginning of the Cambrian period, 545 million years ago, animals underwent a rapid diversification Figure 17.5 Slide 8 Animal Phylogeny To reconstruct the evolutionary history of animal phyla, researchers must depend on clues from comparative anatomy and embryology Slide 9 Four key evolutionary branch points have been hypothesized
Slide 10 Sponges Cnidarians Flatworm s Roundworms Mo llu sks An nelid s Arthropod s Coelom from cell masses Echinoderms Chordates Coelom from digestive tube 4 Pseudocoelom True coelom No body cavity 3 Body cavities Radial symmetry 1 Bilateral 2 symmetry True tissues Multicellularity Figure 17.6 Slide 11 The first branch point is defined by the presence of true tissues Slide 12 The second major evolutionary split is based partly on body symmetry (a) Radial symmetry (b) Bilateral symmetry Figure 17.7
Slide 13 Third, the evolution of body cavities led to more complex animals Slide 14 A body cavity Body covering (from ectoderm) Tissue -filled region (from mesoderm) (a) No body cavity (e.g., flatworm) Pseudocoelom Body covering (from ectoderm) Digestive tract (from endoderm) (b) Pseudocoelom (e.g., roundworm) Coelom Figure 17.8 Digestive tract (from endoderm) Muscle layer (from mesoderm) Body covering (from ectoderm) Tissue layer lining coelom and suspending Digestive tract (from Mesentery internal organs endoderm) (from (c) True coelom (e.g., annelid) mesoderm) Slide 15 Fourth, among animals with a true coelom, there are two main evolutionary branches, which differ in embryonic development

Slide 52 Dorsal, hollow nerve cord Notochord Brain Muscle segments Mouth Anus Pharyngeal slits Post-anal tail Figure 17.30 Slide 53 An overview of chordate and vertebrate evolution Slide 54 Chordates Vertebrates Aves (birds) Mammalia (mammals) Reptilia (reptiles) Amphibia (frogs and salamanders) Feathers Hair De vonia n Amniotic egg Silu ri an Legs Lungs or lung derivatives Cambr ian Ordovician Paleozoi c Osteichthyes (bony fishes) Chondrichthyes (sharks and rays) Lancelets Agnatha (jawless vertebrates, such as lampreys) Ter tiar y Tunicates Cretaceous M esozoi c Amniotes Ca rbonife rous Perm ian Tria ss i c Jurassic Cenozoic Eras Periods Tetrapods Jaws Precam brian Vertebrae Ancestral chordate Figure 17.31
Slide 55 Fishes The first vertebrates probably evolved during the early Cambrian period, about 540 million years ago Slide 56 These early vertebrates, the agnathans, lacked jaws Agnathans are represented today by lampreys Slide 57 The two major groups of living fishes are the classes
Slide 58 Cartilaginous fishes have a flexible skeleton made of cartilage Figure 17.32a Slide 59 Bony fishes Figure 17.32b Slide 60 Amphibians Members of the class Amphibia Figure 17.33
Slide 61 Amphibians Lobe-finned fish Early amphibian Figure 17.34 Slide 62 Terrestrial vertebrates are collectively called tetrapods, which means four legs Slide 63 Reptiles Class Reptilia
Slide 64 Adaptations for living on land include Figure 17.35 Slide 65 Reptiles are ectotherms, which obtain their body heat from the environment Slide 66 Reptiles diversified extensively during the Mesozoic Era Dinosaurs included the largest animals ever to live on land Figure 17.36
Slide 67 Birds Class Aves Slide 68 Bird anatomy and physiology are modified for flight Slide 69 A bird s wings Air fo il Figure 17.37
Slide 70 Mammals Class Mammalia Slide 71 Two features are mammalian hallmarks Slide 72 There are three major groups of mammals Figure 17.38a
Slide 73 Most mammals are born rather than hatched and are nurtured inside the mother by an organ called a placenta Slide 74 The second group of mammals, marsupials, are the so-called pouched mammals Figure 17.38b Slide 75 Eutherians are also called placental mammals Figure 17.38c
Slide 76 THE HUMAN ANCESTRY Humans are primates Slide 77 The Evolution of Primates Primate evolution Slide 78 Primates Early primates
Slide 79 The distinguishing characteristics of primates were shaped by the demands of living in trees Slide 80 Primate characteristics include Figure 17.39 Slide 81 Taxonomists divide primates into two main groups
Slide 82 Prosimians include Figure 17.40a Slide 83 Anthropoids include Figure 17.40b, c Slide 84 Apes, the closest relatives to humans Figure 17.40d g
Slide 85 Humans Figure 17.40h Slide 86 The Emergence of Humankind Humans and apes have shared a common ancestry for all but the last 5 7 million years Slide 87 Anthropoids Prosimians Humans Gorillas Gibbons Orangutans Old World monkeys New World monkeys Prosimians (lemurs, lorises, pottos, and tarsiers) Ancestral primate Chimpanzees Apes Monkeys Figure 17.41
Slide 88 Some Common Misconceptions Our ancestors were not chimpanzees or any other modern apes Chimpanzees and humans represent two divergent branches of the anthropoid tree Slide 89 Human evolution Slide 90 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens sapiens neanderthalensis Homo erectus Australopithecus boisei Australopithecus robustus Homo habilis Australopithecus africanus Ardipithecus ramidus Australopithecus afarensis Figure 17.42
Slide 91 Upright posture and an enlarged brain appeared at separate times during human evolution Slide 92 Australopithecus and the Antiquity of Bipedalism Before there was the genus Homo, several hominid species of the genus Australopithecus walked the African savanna Slide 93 Fossil evidence pushes bipedalism in A. afarensis back to at least 4 million years ago Figure 17.43
Slide 94 All Australopithecus species were extinct by about 1.4 million years Slide 95 Homo habilis and the Evolution of Inventive Minds Homo habilis, handy-man Slide 96 Homo erectus and the Global Diversity of Humanity Homo erectus was the first species to extend humanity s range from Africa to other continents The global dispersal began about 1.8 million years ago
Slide 97 Homo erectus Slide 98 The Origin of Homo sapiens The oldest known post H. erectus fossils Slide 99 Many paleoanthropologists consider these fossils as the earliest forms of our species,homo sapiens The famous fossils of modern humans from the Cro-Magnon caves of France date back about 35,000 years
Slide 100 Two hypotheses regarding the origins of modern humans exist Slide 101 The multiregional hypothesis Slide 102 Homo sapiens African European Asian Australasian Interbreeding 1 2 million years ago (a) Multiregional hypothesis Homo erectus in Africa Figure 17.44a
Slide 103 The Out of Africa hypothesis Slide 104 Homo sapiens African European Asian Australasian 100,000 years ago Homo sapiens in Africa (b) Out of Africa hypothesis Homo erectusin Africa Slide 105 Cultural Evolution Culture Figure 17.44b
Slide 106 Cultural evolution has had three major stages Slide 107 First, nomads who were hunter-gatherers Figure 17.45 Slide 108 Second, the development of agriculture Third, the Industrial Revolution
Slide 109 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: EARTH S NEW CRISIS Cultural evolution Humans are changing the world faster than many species can adapt Slide 110 This rapid rate of extinction is mainly a result of habitat destruction The exploding human population now threatens Earth s ecosystems
