Evidence that supports evolution
- Fossils
- Common ancestors
- DNA structures
- Vestigial, Homologus and Analogous Structures
-Many recent discovered fossils form series that trace the evolution of modern species from extinct ancestors
-All species are descended from ancient common ancestors.
-Over many generations, adaptation could cause successful species to evolve onto new species.
-DNA evidence shows species can be related to each other even if their bodies don't show evidence.
-Vestigial: inherited from ancestor but lost much or all of their original function.
-Analogous: Body parts that share common
-Homologous: structures shared by related species and that have been inherited from common ancestors.
