The video tutorial discusses four major types of evidence for evolution: fossil records, body structures, embryology, and biochemistry. Fossil records provide a timeline of organism existence, while body structures, including homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures, indicate common ancestry. Embryology shows similarities in early development stages, and biochemical evidence compares DNA and amino acid sequences to determine evolutionary relationships.
