According to the fossil record, multicellular life forms first appeared about 570 million years ago. This means multicellular organisms appeared almost 3 billion years after the first evidence of life.

How does the fossil record evidence support the modern theory of evolution?
Answer 1For Example, You find a fossil of a creature from a certain timeline, then you find the same creature with some changes in a timeline later than the previous and if you have enough fossils you can see how the organism appears at its earliest place in the fossil record( some organisms only appear in the fossil record once they have evolved in a way that makes fossilization possible eg shell, jellyfish are very rare in fossils because they are mostly water) and see the organism change over time into a completely different animal through a series of consecutive glimpses of the creature.Answer 2The absence of transitional forms (fossil record) is an insurmountable hurdle for all evolutionists.Answer 3The fossil record, with its many diverging progressions of traits and morphological intermediates, illustrates the changing of life forms as they diverge from their common ancestors towards more modern forms, matching seamlessly the nested hierarchies of modern morphology. Even without the fossil record, we would have had a pretty good picture of our evolutionary past - with it, we can give shape to the forms that came before us.
How the fossil record indicates a long history of changing life forms.?
The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.
The archaebacteria were probably the first what?
they were probably the first multicelluar life- forms
What are transitional forms?
Fossils or organisms that show the intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants are referred to as transitional forms. There are numerous examples of transitional forms in the fossil record, providing an abundance of evidence for change 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.

What do fossil forms of evolution show?
The transition of phyla of organisms over time. That is the great strength of the fossil record; evolution shown in the sedimentary rock.
Scientists used major changes in life forms in the fossil record to form the geologic time scale?

What should you observe in the fossil record if evolution is slow and steady?
If evolution is slow and steady, we'd expect to see the entire transition, from ancestor to descendent, displayed as transitional forms over a long period of time in the fossil record.
What is the origin of orangutan?
The orangutans ancient origin is not agreed upon. One hypothesis says it originated from Lufengpithecus, while another maintains that they originated from Sivapithecus. The fossil record of the living great apes is poor and the orangutan is the only great ape that has a fossil record linking early forms to later forms (there has never been an African fossil found that is related to chimpanzees or gorillas).
What forms when a fossil mold is filled?
when fossile mould is filled it forms the model of the fossile
How a carbon film fossil forms?
A coal-like residue, bulids up and forms around something to form a fossil. This fossil should be classified as a carbon-film fossil.
Is a turtle a multicellular or unicellular cell?
Turtles are multicellular. The vast majority of life forms that are not microscopic are multicellular.
