In relation to Darwin's finches, how did one species on the mainland end up as 14 different species on the islands?
Each island had different food sources, birds with the correct beak adaptations survived and reproduced, creating 14 separate species
Most humans used to be lactose intolerant. Describe how and why lactose tolerance evolved over time.
Most humans used to be lactose intolerant. Describe how and why lactose tolerance evolved over time.
People with the lactose tolerant mutation survived during times of famine because they could drink milk, and passed the trait to their offspring.

Describe the process of how natural selection in bacteria can lead to 'superbugs.'
Bacteria that survive a course of antibiotics due to a resistance mutation then reproduce to create a whole population of resistant bacteria, known as a super bug

Describe the concept and evolutionary benefit behind 'sneaker males.'
Describe the concept and evolutionary benefit behind 'sneaker males.'
Males who are less appealing sneak and mate with the female while the big male isn't looking. Females appreciate their cleverness and choose to pass on that trait to their offspring.

Human beings evolved very slowly for a long time, but in our 'recent' evolutionary history (last 3 million years) there was rapid growth of our brain. Describe why this is the case.
Human beings evolved very slowly for a long time, but in our 'recent' evolutionary history (last 3 million years) there was rapid growth of our brain. Describe why this is the case.
The constantly changing environments required organisms to be more intelligent to survive. Those with the increasingly bigger brains survived and past on the trait.
