What is the fossil record?

• The sequence of heritable changes that occurred among species since the origin of life on Earth

• When organisms are descended from a single ancestor

• The mineralized remains of organisms and the rock layers in which they are found, showing when and where long-dead organisms lived and how their bodies were structured

• The quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc.
