because sometimes the scientists don't find the fossils
What else can I help you with?
Why might the fossil record of the early history of these species have gaps?
The lack of a clear fossil record might indicate rapid evolution or that the transitional species was not very widespread.
What does it mean by gaps within living things or fossils?
Gaps in the fossil record refer to missing evolutionary links between different species or groups. These gaps can occur due to factors like incomplete preservation or lack of fossil evidence. In living things, gaps can refer to missing or unexplained features in the evolutionary history or genetic makeup of a species.
Is the fossil record of evolution of a species usually complete?
Yes
What did Darwin believe the fossil record show?
Darwin believed that the fossil record illustrated the development of new and distinct species over time.
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.
Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record as?
Darwin predicted that the fossil record would either prove or falsify his theory. Darwin realized the difficulty the fossil record (missing links) gave his theory when he said, "Why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduation, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?" Today, top evolutionists know that Darwin's predictions of what the fossil record would reveal have failed.
Which of the following is true about species whose evidence is preserved in the fossil record?
Most of the species have become extinct.
What group of primates has no evidence in the fossil record of any terrestrial species?
Platyrrhines
What is the evidence that species change gradually over time is found in?
The fossil record.
Can fish have fossils?
Yes, hundreds of species of fish can be found in the fossil record.
The evidence that species change gradually over time is found in?
The fossil record.
What does the fossil record reveal about new species of organisms?
They evolved over time from older species.
