What are two things that scientists learn from the fossils record?
The fossil record provides evidence about the history of life and past environment on earth. The fossil record also shows that different groups of organism have changed over time.
How many years ago were protists first found in the fossil record?
Protists were first found in the fossil record around 2.1 billion years ago.
The evidence that species change gradually over time is found in?
The fossil record.
What is the definition of range of a fossil species?
The range of a fossil species refers to the span of time during which the species existed on Earth. It is determined by the oldest and youngest known occurrences of that species in the fossil record. The range provides information about the species' period of existence and can be used to study evolution and environmental changes over time.
Describe three holes in Darwins theory?
First of all, the fossil record does not support the theory of evolution. The fossil record shows that species abruptly appear and disappear, almost as if they were created. There is absolutely no evidence in the fossil record of species gradually changing into different species. Darwin himself said that these revelations in the fossil record could be used as the most compelling arguments against his theory. Secondly, in order for Darwin's theory to be plausible, it needs vast amounts of time (thus, evolutionists claim that earth is millions and millions of year old). But for the earth to be old enough to accommodate Darwin's theory would be impossible. The intensity of the electromagnetic sphere around the earth steadily and consistently decreases by seven percent about every one hundred years. When we look back in time and calculate the intensity of the electromagnetic sphere by adding seven percent every hundred years, we find that the electromagnetic sphere was so intense just twenty thousand years ago, that it would have literally dissolved the core of the earth. How then can the earth be billions of year old? Thirdly, Darwin made his theory in the 1800s. Science has grown by leaps and bounds since then. Here is an example: Genetics was not developed as a science in Darwin's day, and he assumed that animals essentially had an unlimited capacity to adapt to environments -- unaware that no change could ever take place without the right genes being there. To resolve this dilemma, modern evolutionists asserted that the fish's genes must have mutated into human genes over eons. Mutations, of course, are abrupt alterations in genes. However, this hypothesis is no longer tenable. Dr. Lee Spetner, who taught information theory for a decade at Johns Hopkins University and the Weizman Institute, spent years studying mutations on a molecular level. He has written an important new book, "Not by Chance: Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution" In it, he writes, "In all the reading I've done in the life-sciences literature, I've never found a mutation that added information. ... All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not increase it."
How did Charles Darwin view the fossil record?
useful support for his theory
Is fossil record considered scientific theory?
Probably more in the line of many converging pieces of evidence in support of theory. Theory is explanation and fossils are just mineralized bones in the rock. which need and explanation. The fossil record supports the theory of evolution by natural selection and, some say, the theory of punctuated equilibrium.
Does fossil evidence support wegner's theory?
yes
How does the fossil record support the scientific theory of evolution?
The fossil record provides evidence of gradual changes in the morphology of species over time, showing the transition from simple to complex forms. By studying the fossil record, scientists can trace the evolution of various species and identify common ancestors. Fossils help to document the diversity of life forms that existed in the past and support the idea that species have evolved through natural selection and adaptation.
What evidence did Stephen Jay Gould use to support his theory?
The discontinuities in the fossil record that seemed to show that some species or taxons were in a state of non-evolution and then seemed to go through a burst of rapid evolutionary change. This is really only seen in the fossil record and does not have a lot of support in disciplines such as molecular genetic, which genetic divergence back through time in today's genomes.
Fossil that was found on a different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift?
mesosaurus
What are the four pieces of evidence that support the theory of evolution?
The four pieces of evidence that support the theory of evolution are the fossil record showing transitional forms, homologous structures in different species indicating a common ancestor, genetic similarities between different species, and observable examples of natural selection in action.
What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
What kind of evidence for evolution best support's all the others?
Molecular genetics
Does the fossil record support the idea of evolution or the idea that God created each kind of plant and animal individually?
The Fossil Record supports the idea that God created each kind of plant and animal individually. The Fossil Record does not offer any evidence for evolution, because it reveals that God created insects, plants, humans and other living organisms.
What is the kind of evidence used to support evolutionary theory?
Evidence used to support evolutionary theory includes the fossil record showing the progression of species over time, comparative anatomy and genetics showing shared traits among different species, and the observation of natural selection acting on populations leading to adaptation and speciation.
What didn't help Darwin create his theory?
Darwin did not have knowledge of genetics, as Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance was published after Darwin's theory. Additionally, Darwin did not have access to the modern understanding of geology and plate tectonics, which now helps support the theory of evolution through the study of Earth's history and fossil record.
