Today we reviewed two ways evolution might occur: gradualism and punctuated equilibria. (See your fill in the blank notes on evolution and the textbook, p.312-313.)

Homework: Due Fri., Oct. 17

• make a T-chart comparing and contrasting (that is writing similarities and differences between) gradualism and punctuated equilibira
• draw a diagram (picture) for each, use labels, colours, and/or notes jotted in your T-chart so that the diagram (picture) clearly shows each model
