He didn't understand how modifications of species occurred. His theories have stood the test of time when the actual mechanisms were discovered. Further scientific evidence has overwhelmingly proven his basic ideas were correct.

What is the only way scientists know that some species existed?

Actually, there are a variety of methods to know about the existence of different species. In some cases, scientists rely on past writings from respected men and women who had discussed those species. In other cases, as modern biologists, entomologists, oceanographers, and others make interesting new discoveries, they want to determine links to past species or find out how old a particular discovery really is. A common technique is to use carbon dating to determine how old a species is/was. Some scientists do extensive research on the history of a given species, looking at what information exists about it and what new information has been published. There are new species being discovered on a regular basis, and I enclose a link to a publication that follows these discoveries.


Most of what scientific know about extinct species is based on?

Most of what scientists know about extinct species is based on the study of bones and fossils. Scientists have studied many dinosaur bones to determine what they ate and how they lived. Fossils tell what the land was like at a given time in history.


How evolutionists determine if two organisms share a common ancestor?

Evolutionists determine that two organisms have a common ancestor is by looking at fossil evidence in different rock layers using the law of Superposition (Oldest layers are on the bottom, newest are on the top) and compare the skulls or other bones to each other in order of oldest to newest (or newest to oldest). Another way to determine this is to examine the amount of DNA a certain species shares with another species. An example of this would be that Humans share roughly 90% of our DNA with chimpanzees or the other Great Apes.
