Evidence of Evolution

When organisms are descended from a single ancestor.

Artificial selection, or selective breeding, is a way that humans impact evolution.

Very similar DNA sequences.

Structures in different species that are similar due to shared ancestry.

It helps scientists understand the kinds of organisms that lived in the past, how the environment has changed over time, and how organisms have evolved.

Structures that have lost their original function through evolution.

The study of the development of embryos, which can show similarities between different species.

DNA sequences can indicate how closely related different species are.

The process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

The preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms.
