Desire-based change
|
Use of mental states, skills or conscious effort to explain change
|
(Whale/hippo) some of the relatives discovered that they could subsist better in water; One decides it likes the water and the other one decides it likes the land
|
|
Static adaptation
|
References the organism-environment fit as the reason why a particular organism might be found in a particular location or have particular features
|
Hippos actually sleep in the water; (whale/hippo) the ones that were in the water, they had different ways of breathing than the animals on land
|
|
Adaptive feature list
|
Simply lists adaptive features of 1 or more organisms
|
(Whale/hippo) … its skull structure is different, its mouth is wide, and its nostrils are further forward and it has tusks
|
|
Goal-directed adaptation
|
(1) The organism changes to meet a need or purpose, a functional or adaptive goal-directed behavior
|
(Fly)… for their ability to survive, they needed longer wings or something; (whale/hippo) some of the animals moved onto land and they needed longer legs; … (diatom) gradual evolution into a more complicated life form
|
|
(2) The organism develops towards an inbuilt goal [no mention of need]
|
|
Proximate cause
|
(1) An agent brought the organism in from some place else
|
(Flies) certainly, the winds bring some things, well maybe like an animal brought it there
|
|
(2) The organism was always there, but was not detected
|
Well, your premise is faulty because how do you know there weren’t any [flies] that long ago?
|
|
Reproduction
|
Reference to reproduction, no clear reference to inherited features
|
(Flies) they kept mating; [Diatoms] apparently reproduce just by splitting;
|
|
Hybridization
|
2 unrelated animals interbred
|
Different … diatoms … mingled … and produced the … species
