Simple example. You know hair color is under genetic control. Two types, blond ( which is recessive ) and brown ( which is dominant ) exist in our population. These two alleles are in a 75% to a 25% frequency. ( dominant to recessive ) if that frequency changed to 60% to 40% you could say that evolution had taken place. Evolution is the change in allele frequency in a population of organisms over time. ( example very simplified )

What do scientists use fossil evidence to prove?
Scientists use fossil evidence to prove the existence of organisms that lived in the past, how life has evolved over time, the environmental conditions of ancient ecosystems, and the relationships between different species. Fossils provide valuable information about the history of life on Earth and help scientists reconstruct evolutionary pathways.
Does evidence prove or disprove evolution?
Law and math prove things. Science supports tentative ( more or less ) explanations of natural phenomenon with evidence. The evidence overwhelmingly supports evolutionary theory. PS Evolution itself is a observed and observable fact.
How does adaptation prove the study of evolution?
Adaptation is the process by which organisms become better suited to their environment over time. This process demonstrates the way in which organisms evolve to survive and reproduce in their specific surroundings. By studying how organisms adapt to changes in their environment, scientists can gather evidence to support the theory of evolution.
Did Charles Darwin has scientific proof of his evolution theory?
Scientists did not prove things then anymore than they prove things now. Evidence, masses of converging evidence support the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin, in his day, had much evidence to support his theory. All the way from artificial selection to island biogeography. Since that time the theory has moved on to where it is no longer just Darwin's theory, but modified and supported with so much evidence that the theory became the bedrock of biology.

What does biochemistry have to do with evolution?
Evolution is (very simply) populations having variations in genes over long periods of time. This being said, biochemistry is the study of biochemical reactions. One subset of biochemical reactions is the study of genetics. Evolution requires understanding of genetics, which in turn is a subset of biochemistry, hence they are connected.
Did Charles Darwin have evidence to prove evolution?
No, of course not. Evidence does not prove evolution - it validates the theory.Evidence which Darwin had included limited fossils, and observed apparent speciation in birds.
What do scientists use fossil evidence to prove?
Scientists use fossil evidence to prove the existence of organisms that lived in the past, how life has evolved over time, the environmental conditions of ancient ecosystems, and the relationships between different species. Fossils provide valuable information about the history of life on Earth and help scientists reconstruct evolutionary pathways.
How does animal classification prove evolution?
Animal classification, based on similarities in physical and genetic characteristics, allows scientists to group species into related categories. This system highlights the evolutionary relationships between different species and provides evidence for common ancestry and the gradual changes that have occurred over time. By mapping out these relationships, scientists can trace the evolutionary history of species and how they have diverged and adapted to different environments.
Does evidence prove or disprove evolution?

Why are vestigial proof of evolution?
Evidence, not proof. Scientists do not prove things. Your coccyx for one bit of evidence, This is the " stump " of a vestigial tail that is now used for another purpose in humans; to help with sitting. Sometimes this tail does grow out in child development. This is evidence of the concept of evolutionary common ancestry.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
Which type of evidence for evolution is most accurate in determining evolutionary relationships-morphology or molecular?
You could never get any type of evidence to prove untrue things...
Has Lamarck's theory of evolution been proved?
Scientists do not prove things. Lamarck's theory is long refuted as acquired characteristics and the use and disuse concepts are not explanations for evolution of populations.
Do scientists base their explanations of the natural world on evidence or belief why?
They have evidence, but if they cant prove something, even with the evidence, it becomes a theroy, or belief. So sometimes it is based on evidence and fact, sometimes on belief.
How does adaptation prove the study of evolution?
Adaptation is the process by which organisms become better suited to their environment over time. This process demonstrates the way in which organisms evolve to survive and reproduce in their specific surroundings. By studying how organisms adapt to changes in their environment, scientists can gather evidence to support the theory of evolution.
What did Alfred Weneger try to prove?
Alfred Weneger was trying to prove his theory of Continental Drift. Many other scientists before him had the same theory, but they never could prove it. He had five pieces of evidence.
Is Venus Earth's twin?
Some scientists have theories and evidence that prove this hypothesis, but there's no way of knowing for sure.
