Introduction

Evolution 2 - Evidence for Evolution

Refer to the 5 key forms of evidence for evolution below:

• Comparative anatomy - suggest common ancestor

• Comparative embryology - suggest common ancestor and similar DNA

• Vestigial structures - suggests a common ancestor

• The fossil record - look this one up - shows progression from species to species over time

• DNA similarities  - more similar the more alike  organisms are - suggesting a common ancestor

There are some stimulus materials below. Use those and do additional research to write a description of how each of these provide evidence for evolution
