Is most of the evidence that's for evolution come from mathematical models true or false?
Evidence, in a scientific context, is an observation that confirms, is consistent with, a falsifiable explanatory model. If a mathematical model is based on sound (consistent with observed reality) premises, and the results from this model are consistent with expectations based on the model under scrutiny, then it is true that the observation that the results are consistent is evidence for the model. If they're not consistent, then the statement that the observation of inconsistency is evidence for the model is false - although this does not necessarily imply that the observation of inconsistency is evidence against the model.No. Most of the theory for evolution comes from fieldwork and personal observation and not mathematical models.
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.
What was Darwin's evidence for evolution?
Monkeys
Why are adaptations evidence of evolution?
Because adaptations are an observed effect of evolution. They could not happen if evolution did not occur.
What evidence is there for plant evolution?
Fossils, primarilly and nonspecifically.
Forensic pathologist use evidence to find what evidence in favor of evolution and natural selection?
direct evidence is the observation as it occurs

Where did Charles Darwin get most of his evidence of evolution?
Observation of finches on the Galapagos Islands.
What is direct evidence of evolution?
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.
Is an empirical evidence the same as a qualitative observation?
No, empirical evidence is based on observation and inference. Qualitative observation is an observation of the qualities of an object. Quantitative observation, on the other hand, is an observation based on some sort of numerical measurement of the object.
Is evolution a scientific observation?
I am not sure byeeeeeeeee
What is basis for evolution by natural selection?
The basis for all science, be it evolution or the study of how squeaky noises annoy people, is evidence. Darwin's primary evidence for evolution by natural selection was morphological homology; physical similarities between species. Modern evidence for evolution by natural selection is vast and includes a rich fossil record, well understood geologic evidence, radioisotopic evidence, as well as a host of genetic evidence from protein homologies to complex molecular systematics. All evidence for evolution converges on the singular observation that all organisms can be organized in a nested hierarchy much like a family tree; a Tree of Life.
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.
Evidence gathered from observations?
What evidence is gathered from observation
Is similarities an early development not evidence for evolution?
It does hint at common ancestry so it is "evidence" of evolution.
Why is evolution considered a theory and not a hypothesis or a law?
In science, a hypothesis and a theory differs in that a hypothesis is a conjecture based on empirical observation or theoretical derivation yet unproven or by any experimental work, and that a theory is a hypothesis that has been rigorously tested by many researchers and supported by strong evidence. Evolution is a theory that has been repeatedly tested, supported by overwhelming evidence, and can be used to explain natural phenomenon very well.
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
