direct evidence is the observation of evolution as it occurs. We have discovered novel genes conferring an advantage in an environment in which the ancestral population lacked those genes entirely. One example is flavobacterium that evolved nylonase enzymes. Antibiotic resistance is another example.

Why is biochemical evidence of evolution considered to be indirect?
I do not know. I can look at shared biochemical pathways and see direct evidence of common ancestry with other organisms.
Is similarities an early development not evidence for evolution?
It does hint at common ancestry so it is "evidence" of evolution.
What evidence do we have for local adaptation?
how does adaptations give evidence for evolution?
What biochemical evidence is there supporting evolution?
fossils
What are the 4 broad categories of evidence used to support evolution?
The fossil record, computational genomics, vestigial genes/structures, biogeographical distribution of species, comparative anatomy, and direct observation
Forensic pathologist use evidence to find what evidence in favor of evolution and natural selection?
direct evidence is the observation as it occurs
Direct evidence about theory of evolution?
There are thousands of instances of direct evidence of evolution. The most well-known example is that of Darwin's Finches. These finches were observed through fossil records to have changed over time to adapt to their environment.
What are some examples of direct evidence for evolution?
Polyploidy in plants, for one instance the doubling of chromosomes at mating, is direct evidence not only for evolution but for speciation as well. I fact many to most modern angiosperm species are developed this way.
Why is biochemical evidence of evolution considered to be indirect?
I do not know. I can look at shared biochemical pathways and see direct evidence of common ancestry with other organisms.
Why can't intelligence be evidence of evolution?
Intelligence is merely a property of some lifeforms. It has no direct relationship to evolution and can say nothing either way, although the apparent development of intelligence combined with otehr mechanisms (e.g. suitability, usefulness) may be considered evidence.
What is indirect evidence?
Indirect Evidence of Evolution - is looking for signs of the results of evolution. - is evidence that can be used to deduce what you are trying to understand.
Is similarities an early development not evidence for evolution?
It does hint at common ancestry so it is "evidence" of evolution.
Homology is evidence of what?
Evolution
What is the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to what evidence?
In evolution the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to the anatomical evidence from homology.
What evidence do we have for local adaptation?
how does adaptations give evidence for evolution?
In evolution the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to evidence?
In evolution the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to the anatomical evidence from homology.
Is the fossil record valid evidence for evolution?
Fossils provide amazing evidence for the theory of evolution and the long history of life on Earth.
