What evidence did Darwin use to present his case for evolution?
He said that as giraffe stretching out their necks get longer and longer
What evidence of evolution can be found in the geographic distribution of living animals?
All organisms are adapted to their environment to a greater or lesser extent. If the abiotic and biotic factors within a habitat are capable of supporting a particular species in one geographic area, then one might assume that the same species would be found in a similar habitat in a similar geographic area, e.g. in Africa and South America. This is not the case. Plant and animal species are discontinuously distributed throughout the world
What did Darwin study on the Galapagos's islands?
Certain species, and how they differed from one island to another; in this case, specifically, finches and tortoises.
What are five types of evidence that support the thory of evolution?
AnswerFive supporting observations for evolution are:Trackable changes in DNAFossil evidenceObservable modern evolutionDemonstrable predictabilitySimilar morphology in structures as they changedAnswerTake any five of the 29+ lines of evidence you will find at this reference,Theobald, Douglas L. "29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent."The Talk.Origins Archive.

They illustrate the falsifiability of the theory of evolution. Falsifiability, (the potential for some observation to demonstrate that a theory is false) is one of the requirements and hallmarks of a sound scientific theory.Link available below, under 'Sources and related links'.
Can a bull calf be born without a scrotum?
No. Some form of a scrotum is present when a bull calf is born, regardless if the testes haven't descended yet. It may appear as such if this is the case, but there is a scrotum or "cod" present when a bull calf is born.
What evidence did Darwin use to present his case for evolution?

How do you enter evidence in a court case?
When you say a statement that includes evidence, your lawyer will then present the evidence to the jury.
In 1925 this case involved a Tennessee law against the teaching of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools?
The case is known as the Scopes Trial, where John Scopes, a high school teacher, was charged with violating the law by teaching evolution. The trial brought attention to the clash between religion and science in American education.
What is a discovery of evidence in a criminal case?
The process of discovery in court is where the government present its evidence to the defense, and vice versa.
Was Darwin right about evolution?
Yes, Charles Darwin was right. His theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is the most important theory in the whole of biology. This can come as a surprise to students entering University to study biology if they have been brought up in a soft school soother of 'Oh well, Creation or Evolution, like them or hate them, we don't really know' which might occur if the school is too scared to teach Evolution for fear of a sudden court case. It so happens that "Nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of Evolution" as Theodosius Dobzhansky uttered. We definitely know that evolution occurs, life is variable and thus there is variety for Natural Selection to mould. Life proceeds by Natural Selection. The biodiversity of life on the planet is all due to evolution, at any point in time, from the 10 000 species of flatworm to the 50 000 species of extinct trilobite to the possibly 30 million species of insect. There is absolutely no doubt in the minds of biologists (and physicists and chemists and geologists and cosmologists) worldwide that evolution occurs. There is much evidence. There is much debate too, but not about whether Evolution in general is true or not. Evolution is correct. What is debated is whether Sexual Selection is a subset of Natural Selection or something slightly different (I think it is a subset). Another debate is whether a species can survive unchanged from the Cambrian to the present, like lampshells (I doubt it: present lamp shells should at the very least be different species or genera from their Cambrian ancestors). And countless more debates rage excitingly through the scientific community. But everyone who knows biology from a bar of soap knows that Darwin was correct. More correctly, the evidence shows (regardless of the adherents to the theory) that Darwin was right.
What court case of the 1920s is associated with William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow?
The Scopes Trial In 1925 (monkey trial) Tennessee Trial. Bryan Representing The Parties Against The Darwin Theory Of Evolution. Darrow For Evolution.
How is video evidence presented in a court case?
First they ask the judge , then they just present it!
Scientific alternatives to Darwin's theory of evolution?
Darwin's original theory was formulated over 150 years ago. The modern theory of evolution, while still basically the same as Darwin's, is also significantly different. In either case, there is no scientific alternative to the origin of biodiversity.This is equivalent to how there is no scientific alternative to Atomic Theory.
What is casebriefing?
A case briefing is a summerization of all the evidence present in a court case. This allows lawyers to be able to plan a strategy on how to win or attack a defendent.
Was H G Wells against Darwin's theory of evolution?
Actually, quite the opposite is the case. He wrote several articles on the subject, and even used the concept in some of his science fiction stories.
Does the prosecution and the defense present evidence?
Yes, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence in a trial. The prosecution presents evidence to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defense presents evidence to create doubt or support the defendant's innocence. Both sides have the opportunity to call witnesses, introduce documents or physical evidence, and present arguments to support their case.
Who proves guilt in a case?
The prosecution will show the evidence and present the testimony that indicates guilt. The defending attorney will try to punch holes in the evidence and testimony. The jury then decides what the facts are based on the testimony and evidence.
