Evolution Is The Most Credible Theory

Decent Essays
People believe that Evolution is the most credible theory because there are many evidences which strongly support it.
First, plate movement and variation of sea level changed the connection of every lands.
Although the distance between some of them is quite far, similar fossils still can be found in these place.
In different environments, these similar species evolved into different kind of creature.
Second, the forelimbs of Vertebrates support Evolution.
For example, human, cats, whales and crocodile have pentadactyl limbs, and their forms are almost the same.
But their functions are very dissimilar because the species have to improve pentadactyl limbs in order to adapt their own environments.
Scientists call this kind of phenomenon homologous organs.

These organs are all evidences of Evolution.
Third, radioisotope dating is usually used to determine the age of sedimentary rocks and surmise the age which species lived at.
Thus scientists can understand how these animals evolved in the past and support Evolution.
Last but not least, in embryology, Embryos grow from fertilized

    “The glue is not one thing; it is a variety of different molecules that connect and lie between our cells” (123). This glue and molecular structure gives each cell and tissue their distinct functions. What makes many different body parts different is how the materials like cells and tissues are arranged and attached to each other, like the eye and leg. This indicates that every tissue alignment is different in it’s own way and can be identified with it’s organism. The author had his students try to identify each tissue under a slide and it is possible, but very…

In the common vernacular a fact may be perceived as undeniable information with absolute certainty. (gould)…

    Recently, scientists have discovered fossils of an extinct species of turtles that particularly have snouts as noses, similar to a pig. However, because of its snout, it was named Golden's bacon turtle, or Arvinachelys golden. Usually, turtles have one nasal passage in their skulls because of how fleshy their nostrils are. Arvinachelys golden was found by a team from Natural History Museum of Utah and discovered the fossil at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. In addition, this turtle also had a near completed forelimb, partial hindlimbs, and vertebrae from the neck and tail, unlike any other turtle ever recorded.…

    Fossil record can be described as the collection of the remains of past life. Furthermore, theoretical evolution is considered theoretical because the process of natural selection in times before the development of science can never be fully or concretely proven; only theorized. Taxonomy would be explained as the branch of science regarding the classification of organisms. Paleontology is considered to be the greatest source of empirical knowledge in terms of understanding the history of life.…

    One trait that defers between humans and monkey, chimpanzees, and Bonobo's is the size and structure of the pelvic bone and sacrum size. When we look at a human pelvis the sacrum is large and wide in a circle/oval shape, the pelvic structure is thicker in bone size as well as the top of the pelvis has a bigger butterfly effect to it. The Bonobo and monkey pelvis on the other hand is much smaller in both the pelvis shape and sacrum shape. One of the biggest differences is how at the bottom of the Bonobo pelvis's bones smooth out making it longer whereas the human pelvis seems to arch up making more of that oval shape. This means that the chimps monkeys and bonobos have the ancestral trait because the shape of the pelvis is the same for each…

    The three forms of skeletons in the animal kingdom are: hydrostatic skeletons, exoskeletons, and endoskeletons. Hydrostatic skeletons are found in cnidarians, worms, and many mollusks. It consists of a fluid filled sac in which the fluid is good support, however, it is formless. Animals with hydrostatic skeletons have two sets of antagonistic muscles (muscles that work in opposition to each other). These muscles are longitudinal muscles and circular muscles, which both help the animal maintain its shape.…

    Primates, a small group of mammals, including monkeys, apes, lemurs, bushbabies, lorises, tarsiers, and humans. Now, what makes a primate different from all animals, one of the reasons being that they have all retained the ancient mammalian trait of pentadactylism. This means that with the exception of spider monkeys, they all have 10 fingers and 10 toes total. Along with their hands and feet, on each finger and toe they all have fingernails, meanwhile they all have opposable thumbs- just because a mammal has opposable thumbs doesn’t mean that they are primates. Their thumbs are an important trait because all primates are great climbers-…

    Finally, a scientific theory is a hypothesis that is then supported by observations and explanations. It may be right, wrong, or even partially wrong. There are various evidences that support the Theory of Evolution and many others that prove it's opposite. Some people are against the theory, others believe and even added more and more ideas to it. There is no strong scientific evidence that proves that either side is 100% true and…

    Evolution Of Primates

    Our physiology has been compared with those of modern day primates, due to our similar characteristics, which have all been linked to our ancestors. Hands of humans and primates are prehensile, “which means they can grasp objects and we share the ability to brachiate from “branch to branch contain a “reduced sense of smell,” and a “wide range of tooth types [suggesting] an adaptation to a generalist diet” (MacDonald, 2003, p. 325). All of characteristics suggest that our ancestors were arboreal, and we continue to show our ability to climb trees fairly well, however the main feature that has distinguished humans from modern primates has been our ability to walk on both legs, maintaining a sense of natural balance, of which primates lack. Ramapithecines…
