Fossils showing animals of the past display some similarity to animals of today as well as some differences. When we start at the bottom of the fossil record (where all the oldest fossils are) and work our way up through all the rock layers of the different ages in geologic time, we start to notice the changes in the fossils and how they lead up to the animals of today

In the history of the world at some point in time man tamed horses and used them for riding. When was this?
Horses are represented in cave paintings dating back 30,000 years, however they aren't shown being ridden and are likely being hunted for meat. The earliest certain evidence for domesticated horses is from 2000BCE - chariots have been found that date back that far. However, fossils horses from 4000 BCE found in what is now the Ukraine show dental evidence of having used bits.
What are evidences of reptilian ancestry in the rat?
The fossils discovered with similar bone types are evidences of reptilian ancestry in the rat. The geographical similarities is the other evidence.
How do fossils give proof of evolution?
Fossils show clear evidence that the earliest human species had many apelike features & have evolved over the years.
What geologic period has fossils of the most primitive lifeforms?
cambrian
What kind of organisms do the earliest fossils represent?
The earliest fossils represent plants.
Why are fossils not living?
Because, they're the preserved remains of dead lifeforms. Ergo, they aren't alive.
Where did the earliest evidence of human fossils been located in?
The earliest evidence of human fossils has been located in Africa, specifically in regions such as Ethiopia and Tanzania. These fossils, dating back millions of years, provide crucial insights into the evolutionary history and origins of our species, Homo sapiens.
Where are the earliest fossils found?
In undisturbed strata, the oldest fossils will be the deepest from the surface.
What are the five evidence of evolution are?
biochemical evidence anatomical evidence fossils vestigial structure embryological evidence
What makes up fossil fuels?
fossils ex. the fones left fron othe lifeforms decompose into oil
Who discovered the bonesof the earliest known human at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania?
Mary and Louis Leakey recovered fossils of Homo habilis, Paranthropus boisei, and Homo erectus from successive layers of sediment in the Gorge. Along with evidence of tool making, these fossils provide much information on increasing developmental and social complexities in the earliest humans.
What was the preserved remains of ancient organisms called?
The preserved remains of animals of evidence of their existence are Fossils Fosssils that provide evidence about the past are called trace fossils.
Is Sahara some of the earliest human fossils have been found?
No, the Sahara desert is not where some of the earliest human fossils have been found. The earliest human fossils have been discovered in other parts of Africa, such as the Great Rift Valley and South Africa. The Sahara, being a desert, is not conducive to preserving fossils from this early period.
Fossils of the earliest humans have been found in what country?
The Sahara
