The Fossil Record is an important thing. It gives us evidence of evolutinon in a number of ways. For example, relative age. The depths of layers in the soil gives us an idea of the relative age, or how old, certain rocks are. The Fossil Record proves that the earth has been around for millions of years and that its not just something …show more content…
Embryology is the study of sex cells, or gametes. The facts of Embryology only make sense if evolution is true. All vertebrates start as a single cell, and the genes that let us know one from another will start up at different points during development. This is called atavism. Humans, for example, have tails and gills when they’re in the womb in the very beginning. Atavism makes perfect sense in an evolutionary context and little sense to none at all anywhere else. So embryology is one of many different fields that agree with evolution.
We also have to look at comparative anatomy. Such as homologous, analogous, and vestigial. Evidence from comparative anatomy shows that various organisms share a common ancestor. Examples would include vestigial structures. Vestigial structures are structures which seem to have little or no function in the modern species, but ancestors of the species may have used it for some particular purpose. Whales have hip bones, yet they have no legs. Which means they don't really need hip bones. This leads us to think that whales must have evolved from an ancestor with
