Evidence for Evolution

Science · Ecosystems & Habitats · conceptual

Describe the main types of evidence for evolution: the fossil record (change over time), comparative anatomy (homologous structures), and the geographic distribution of related species

What mastery looks like

  • Explains how fossils form and what they can tell us about past life
  • Uses the fossil record as evidence that species have changed over time
  • Describes homologous structures (e.g. pentadactyl limb) as evidence for common ancestry
  • Explains why island species provide evidence for evolution (e.g. Darwin's finches, Galapagos)

Check your understanding

If Evidence for Evolution visited a natural history museum and saw fossils and skeletons of different animals, could they explain how scientists use those to build up evidence that species change over time — and that different animals are related?
