There are no examples of 'evolution' happening today. People look at a type of bird in England then a bird in Hawaii. It's the same type of bird, but they look different. Unfortunately, many people's answer is,"Evolution!". The truth is, the birds probably flew there, laid some eggs, and began to adapt to the weather. Naturally, you wear different clothes in Europe than in the tropics. Adaption, not evolution is the answer.
Answer:
There are numerous examples of present day evolution. The most common is the ability of microbes and bacteria to evolve to not be treatable by old antibiotics.
On a larger scale we have only recently (3,000 years or so) evolved the ability to digest milk when we are adults. This mutation occurred independently in both Africa and Europe.
Even more recently some populations in Africa are developing an increasing ability to resist AIDS. Again because the people with the changes to allow them to survive are surviving and passing on inheritable traits.

What are non examples of evolution?
A fish
What term do you use to describe evolution happening in quick burst?
Punctuated
Does evolution still happen today?
yes
What evolution has produced many of the analogous structures in organisms today?
They don't. Homologous structures provide evidence for evolution not analogous structures.
What are examples of structural evidence of evolution?
Similar bone structures in species
When does evolution act?
Evolution is always happening. Species are constantly changing to adapt to their surroundings. If evolution wasn't always happening, many different species would have died.
Will evolution keep happening?
Yes.
Can we see evolution actually happening. Find examples of natural occurrences in the wild or experimental situations in the laboratory in which we can observe evolution occurring?
Evolution can be observed in the wild, such as the formation of anti-biotic resistant bacterial strains.Additionally Bacterial evolution has been observed in a large experiment, specifically the evolution of E.coli to metabolise citrate, a process that E.coli normally cannot undertake. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_experimentFor more examples of experimental evolution read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_evolution
What are 2 hypotheses of evolution?
I believe you are referring to microevolution and macroevolution. These theories both support evolution, but each in their own way. Microevolution is the most common belief today. This states that evolution is happening so rapidly that we don't even notice it. The mutations needed for evolution happen so quickly and on such a small scale that we never realize it's happening until afterwards. Macroevolution is exactly the opposite. This states that the mutations take so long that we never notice it. Both theories, in fact, were proposed because people were asking why, if evolution actually did take place, we could never see it happening.
Has evolution really happened?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. That has and is happening.
What is glossogenetics with examples?
It is the science of origin of human language .The evolution of language like some grammar rules in the past that are no longer applicable today.
What are non examples of evolution?
A fish
What term do you use to describe evolution happening in quick burst?
Punctuated
Have humans ever observed evolution happening?
Evolution is routinely observed both in nature and in the lab. Even several speciation "events" are on record.
How does observed evolutionary change support the scientific theory of evolution?
The theory predicts that evolution will happen and in certain ways. The observed evolution makes this prediction correct. It also defines evolution as happening, and as such is perfect evidence in support of it.
Are seals and dolphins examples of convergent evolution?
Absolutely.
Does evolution still happen today?
yes
