It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.
It was where he developed his theory. The Galapagos are considered the "Laboratory of Evolution." Evolution is easily observable here.
AnswerThe fossil record is the primary source of evidence of past life forms.The fossil record is also an important source of evidence of evolution. However, Charles Darwin was able to develop his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection largely without reference to fossil evidence. He saw evidence for evolution in present life forms. Another source of evidence for evolution is to be found in DNA.
theory of evolution
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Sexual selection. Just to name the two most important contributions of Charles Darwin.
It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.
The principle of fossil succession and the theory of evolution have helped scientists explain the fossil record.
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.
Darwin's theory of evolution was just that, a theory. Darwin himself said that if he was correct, it would be proven in the fossil record. It has not been proven in the fossil record to date. I am not certain what Darwin's theory of evolution has to do with the way religious and business leaders view their responsibility toward the poor. Several political situations can be linked to various political leaders and their exposure to Darwinism, including the Holocaust, Marxism, Communism, and Eugenics.
Evolution is the theory that attempts to explain how changes in life forms take place over time. Paleontology is the science and study of the fossil lifeform record.
Fossils provide amazing evidence for the theory of evolution and the long history of life on Earth.
The transition of the horse from the Eocene to today is well documented in the fossil record and the genetic/biochemical record compares favorable and strongly with the fossil record. So, evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms (change over time ), is shown and only natural selection is known to produce such great adaptive change in individuals leading to a populations evolution.
The fossil record independently confirms the general hypothesis of common descent, and allows palaeontologists and evolutionary biologists to confirm specific proposed phylogenies as well as specific hypotheses about the evolutionary past of various lineages.
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
When we examine the fossil record we see that the Earth has not always had the same living organisms living on it that it has today, but rather, there have been many changes, some gradual and some abrupt, over the past few billion years, and those changes show progressive alterations of exactly the kind that evolution would be expected to produce. The fossil record tells us that yes, life has evolved.
AnswerEvolution does not explain anything as it is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the fact of evolution; how populations of organisms change over time.AnswerEvolutionary theory explains the diversity of life, ranging from the diverging progressions of traits found in the fossil record to the nested hierarchies found in genomics, developmental biology and zoology, in terms of what we know about the natural phenomenon of evolution.
useful support for his theory
