CITING EVIDENCE FOR REVOLUTION

Lance Ashter Rosales

Fossils

provide substantial evidence that species from the past are not the same as those seen now, and
fossils demonstrate evolution's path Scientists establish the age of fossils and classify them from
all over the world in order to determine when species existed in relation to one another. The
resulting fossil record depicts the evolution of form over millions of years and conveys the tale
of the past.

Anatomy and Embryology

The occurrence of structures in creatures that share the same basic form is another type of
evidence for evolution. The bones in the appendages of a human, dog, bird, and whale, for
example, all have the same overall architecture owing to their common ancestor's appendages.
Evolution has changed the shapes and sizes of these bones in different species over time, but the
basic arrangement has remained the same. Scientists refer to these sections as homologous
structures.
Biogeography

The structures of life's molecules, like anatomical features, reflect descent with alteration. The
universality of DNA as genetic material, as well as the near universality of the genetic code and
the machinery of DNA replication and expression, all point to a common ancestor for all life.
Major structural variations in otherwise conservative elements such as ribosome components and
membrane structures represent fundamental biological distinctions between the three domains.

Molecular Biology

universality of DNA as genetic material, as well as the near universality of the genetic code and

Evolution is just a theory

The structures of life's molecules represent descent with change, just as anatomical structures.
The universality of DNA as genetic material, as well as the near universality of the genetic code
and the machinery of DNA replication and expression, all point to a common ancestor for all life.
Major structural variations in otherwise conservative elements such as ribosome components and
membrane structures represent fundamental biological distinctions between the three domains.
Individuals Evolve

Evolution is the process of a population's genetic makeup changing over time, specifically over
generations, as a result of differential reproduction of individuals with specific alleles.
Individuals change throughout their lives, but this is referred to as development, and it entails
changes that are programmed by the set of genes that an individual inherits at birth, in
conjunction with the individual's environment. When considering the evolution of a trait,
consider the change in the population's average value through time. When the bill size of
medium-ground finches in the Galápagos changes due to natural selection, this does not imply
that the finches' individual bills are altering. If the average bill size of the entire population is
taken into consideration.

Organism Evolve on Purpose

"Organisms adapt in response to a change in their environment" is a common phrase, however it

can lead to two types of mistakes. To begin with, the remark should not be taken to imply that
individual organisms evolve. The statement is shorthand for "a population evolves in response to
a changing environment," but taking it to indicate that the evolution is somehow planned could
lead to a second misconception.

Evolution Explains the Origin of life

It is a prevalent misconception that evolution includes a description of the origins of life. Some
detractors of the idea, on the other hand, say it is incapable of explaining the genesis of life. The
theory does not attempt to explain how life began. Evolutionary theory explains how populations
change through time and how life diversifies species' origins. It doesn't go into detail on the
origins of life, such as the first cells, which is how life is defined.
