Evidence of Change Quiz

The video tutorial covers the concept of evolution, starting with the definition of evolution as a change in species over time. It explains natural selection as the survival of the fittest and the evolution of new species from existing ones. The theory of evolution is supported by various forms of evidence, including the fossil record, which shows the progression of life. Anatomical structures demonstrate similarities due to shared ancestry, and early development stages of vertebrates are quite similar. Closely related species also have similar genetic sequences.
