Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species (Biology) spatially (geography) and temporally (history). Biogeography aims to reveal where organisms live, at what abundance, and why they are or are no) found in a certain geographical area.

Biogeography does not support the theory of evolution any more then when (history) you (biology) moved into your house (geography).

Do darwins theories of evolution by natural selection contradict the principles of biogeography?

No, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection actually complements the principles of biogeography. Biogeography, the study of the distribution of species, provides evidence of how species have adapted to their environments over time through the process of evolution. Darwin himself used biogeographical evidence to support his theory of evolution.


How do the lines of evidence support the theory of evolution?

The lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution include fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography. Fossil records show a progression of life forms over time, while comparative anatomy reveals similarities in structures among different species. Molecular biology demonstrates common genetic sequences among organisms, and biogeography examines the distribution of species around the world, all of which provide evidence for the common ancestry and gradual change of species over time outlined in the theory of evolution.


How is biogeography different then Darwin's theory?

It's not. Actually, biogeography, the geographic arrangement of convergent and divergently evolved species supports the theory of evolution by natural selection. Wallace, who really developed bio-geographic theory, first noticed this event well and incorporated it into his theory of evolution by natural selection, but this phenomenon did not escape Darwin's notice either.


What does the biogeography or fossils support evolutionary theory?

Biogeography, which studies the distribution of species, supports evolutionary theory by showing patterns of species distribution that align with the idea of common ancestry and evolution. Fossils provide physical evidence of species that have existed in the past, showing transitional forms and demonstrating the gradual changes in organisms over time, supporting the concept of descent with modification proposed by evolutionary theory.


Evolution is the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence. Which of the following supports evolution?

Fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography are all forms of scientific evidence that support the theory of evolution by showing how species have changed and diversified over time.


What theory does the fossil record support?

It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.


What are the four types of evidence that supports the theory of evolution?

The four types of evidence that support the theory of evolution are fossil records showing transitional forms, similarities in embryology and anatomy across species (homology), biogeography (distribution of species around the world), and genetic evidence such as DNA comparisons that show relationships between different species.


Is the theory true that the theory of evolution is supported by a wide range of biological evidence?

Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.


Are Caves are a type of island ecosystem according to the theory of island biogeography?

Caves are a type of island ecosystem according to the theory of island biogeography.


How does observed evolutionary change support the scientific theory of evolution?

The theory predicts that evolution will happen and in certain ways. The observed evolution makes this prediction correct. It also defines evolution as happening, and as such is perfect evidence in support of it.


What is meant by modern theory of evolution?

The modern theory of evolution combines Darwin's theory of natural selection with our current understanding of genetics to explain how species change over time. It emphasizes that genetic variation, inheritance, and environmental pressures drive the process of evolution. This theory is supported by evidence from fields such as genetics, paleontology, and biogeography.


Do you believe that this evidence gives support to the theory of evolution?

I do not so much " believe it " as I an convinced by the myriad lines of converging evidences that support the theory of evolution by natural selection. talkorigins.org
