Take the cytochrome C electron shuttle in the electron transport chain and see how it is highly conserved in form and function among a wide variety of eukaryotes. That is molecular evidence for the relatedness of widely disparate organisms.
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution was created in 1983.
The basis for all science, be it evolution or the study of how squeaky noises annoy people, is evidence. Darwin's primary evidence for evolution by natural selection was morphological homology; physical similarities between species. Modern evidence for evolution by natural selection is vast and includes a rich fossil record, well understood geologic evidence, radioisotopic evidence, as well as a host of genetic evidence from protein homologies to complex molecular systematics. All evidence for evolution converges on the singular observation that all organisms can be organized in a nested hierarchy much like a family tree; a Tree of Life.
I do not ' believe ' in evolution, but I am convinced by the evidence.
First of all, evolution is a FACT not a theory. You must be referring to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. There is no denying the fact that evolution happens, scientists just didn't know exactly how it worked until Darwin suggested one plausible scientific explanation which he called natural selection. Natural selection is simply the change in allele frequencies of an organism which results that organism becoming either better or worse suited to survive in its environment. Being better suited to survive means that the organism is more likely to pass on the beneficial genetic trait to it's offspring. Rather than asking for evidence which helps prove evolution, try looking for verifiable scientific evidence which disproves it. After all, science is not about making claims and looking for evidence to prove them, but rather generating hypothesis and looking for ways to disprove them.
"The evidence for evolution countervails over the arguments against it." THis means that evidence for evolution counteracts the arguments against it.

Molecular biology provides evidence for evolution through the study of genetic sequences, comparing similarities and differences between organisms at the molecular level. By analyzing these sequences, scientists can trace evolutionary relationships, determine common ancestry, and understand how species have evolved over time through genetic mutations and natural selection. This molecular evidence supports the theory of evolution by showing the continuity of life and the patterns of genetic change that have occurred over millions of years.
Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and observed instances of natural selection. These different lines of evidence all support the concept of biological evolution occurring over time.
Molecular evidence for evolution includes DNA sequencing, which reveals similarities in the genetic code across species. By comparing the DNA sequences of different organisms, scientists can infer evolutionary relationships and common ancestry. Additionally, the presence of pseudogenes and shared genetic markers further supports the idea of evolution through common descent.

Fossil evidence and molecular evidence for primate phylogeny generally align, supporting the evolutionary relationships among primates. Fossils provide crucial insights into the morphological changes and diversification of primate lineages over time, while molecular data, such as DNA sequencing, offers a more precise timeline and genetic relationships. Both lines of evidence converge on key aspects, such as the divergence of major primate groups, although discrepancies can arise due to gaps in the fossil record or varying rates of molecular evolution. Overall, the integration of both types of evidence enhances our understanding of primate evolution and phylogeny.
