Enduring Understanding (s): Species evolve over time. Changes in a species’ DNA cause the evolution of the species. Natural Selection determines the direction of evolution. _________________________________________________
Essential Question (s): If all organisms today have evolved from organisms of the past, have any organisms truly become extinct? _______________________________________________________
