Fossils are like the clues the police use to solve a crime. Together they paint a picture of the truth - in this case the truth is evolution
Each one tells a story. Like clues to a crime, where the police don't have to find a print of every footstep taken by a subject or confirm every thing that he did, the clues paint a logical outline of all the events around the crime.
Like clues in a crime the police do not initially identify a person they want to pin the crime on and then seek to tie him to the event - they find a number of clues which identify potential subjects of interest. They then attempt to prove the relation of these suspects to the crime until the trail of evidence is strong and dependable. Usually multiple facts on the same evidence are considered - for a crime it might be fingerprints and video tape and eye witnesses, for fossils it could be carbon 14 and dendrochronology and geologic strata.

∙ 11y agoyes, because of the earth sampak to the moon banding to the sun into the earth's core to the airport.... and that's why fossil dont have any evidence....... thats all thank you....... :PP one direction

∙ 6y agoAnswer: In short, today's mammals cannot be traced back to the cynodonts. Impressive indeed, wonderful though the series is that shows reptiles evolving into mammaliaforms, and then human, it does not validate the dogma that all organisms compose a single evolutionary tree. Work in this field of study still goes on.
Answer: Yes, fossils provide direct evidence for evolution. The fossil record is too broad and too deep to discount. And there is nothing in the way of scientific evidence to contradict the fossil record. Work in this field of study still goes on? Yes, it does. And it continues to validate earlier ideas about evolution and the tree of life.

∙ 11y agoFossils haven't evolved. Fossils are the mineralized remnants of things from bones to skin impressions, to leaf impressions, footprints, shells, tree bark, eggs, and even poop (among other things).
Fossils help us further credit evolution due to the fact we can use them to trace how a species has changed over millions and millions of years and became something else. It also helps us to track when two species became distinctly different from each other and give us clues to why one species went one way and the other either separated and/or dided out, which helps to explain natural selection.

∙ 8y agoNot all fossils need be evidence for the Theory of Evolution. Fossils of now-extinct species do provide some evidence. When large numbers of fossils of extinct species are examined in context, then the evidence of evolution becomes apparent. Scientists can then see the evolution from one species to another, down to the species alive today.

What is fossil evidence?
fossil evidence is when scientist study fossils to figure out how the animal died how it evoled
What is evidence how is direct evidence different from inderict evidence?
Direct evidence are visible noticable changes. Indirect evidence is when you might not see the action happen but you do notice the results
What two types of evidence do scientists use to determine what inside earth?
Indirect evidence from Seismic Waves, and direct evidence from rock samples.
How are footprints fossils different from bone fossils?
Yes, preserved footprints are examples of fossils.
What are 5 types of indirect evidence?
the five indirect evidences are :Trackable changes in DNAFossil evidenceObservable modern evolutionDemonstrable predictabilitySimilar morphology in structures as they changed
To study earth's interior geologists often rely on indirect methods such as evidence from fossils?
To study earth's interior, geologist often rely on indirect methods such as evidence from seismic waves, not fossils.
Is this question true or false to study earths interior geologists often rely on indirect methods such as evidence from fossils?
no they use seismic waves
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.
What is the difference between direct and indirect evidence?
Direct evidence is something that can prove a fact, evidence that someone has seen or heard. Indirect evidence is different because it relates to facts and does not prove a fact on its own. Indirect evidence is also called circumstantial evidence.
What are the five evidence of evolution are?
biochemical evidence anatomical evidence fossils vestigial structure embryological evidence
Indirect evidence of earth's interior comes from studying rock samples?
direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves
What was the preserved remains of ancient organisms called?
The preserved remains of animals of evidence of their existence are Fossils Fosssils that provide evidence about the past are called trace fossils.
How do fossils provide evidence of environmental changes that occurred in the past?
Fossils provide information about past environmental conditions. Fossils that provide indirect (proxy) information on past environmental conditions are called paleo-indicators. Certain types of plants, for example, require specific temperature and moisture conditions in order to thrive
How are fossils important evidence of evolution list the different kinds of fossils?
the answer is elemetary
What type of information is recorded in a trace fossils?
Evidence of an organism's activities is recorded in trace fossils. These include tracks, fossilized dung, and burrow casts.
Are fossils evidence of continental drift?
Yes.
What is Sources of evidence about past extinctions?
fossils
