Evolutionary Evidence

Front

Fossil Record

Back

The collection of all known fossils and their placement in chronological order, providing evidence of the history of life on Earth.

Front

Homologous Structure

Back

Structures in different species that are similar because of common ancestry, indicating evolutionary relationships.

Front

Analogous Structure

Back

Structures in different species that have similar functions but are not derived from a common ancestor, indicating convergent evolution.

Front

DNA Evidence

Back

Genetic information that supports the theory of evolution by showing similarities in the DNA sequences of different species.

Front

Embryology

Back

The study of the development of embryos, which can provide evidence of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships.

Front

Common Ancestry

Back

The concept that different species share a common ancestor, which is a key principle in the theory of evolution.

Front

Evolutionary Tree

Back

A diagram that shows the relationships among various species based on their evolutionary history and common ancestry.
