Fossils provide one body of evidence for evolution and an accurate theory of our phylogeny back to every living organism's common ancestor (because we are all related and so must have come from the same ancestor).
By performing radiometric dating of the surrounding geology where the fossil was found. There are several radiometric clocks that can be used and as many as are possible are used to get an accurate and confirmed age. This allows evolutionary scientists to better understand how we and all other living things have evolved, and allows for comparison with the other bodies of evolutionary evidence (such as genetic clocks and taxonomy).
That we evolved is a fact, the only question evolutionary scientists are asking now is "How?" And we're getting closer to the truth every day. A better explanation can be found on YouTube - search for DonExodusII.

What are two ways that scientists can study earths climate history?
helller
What is direct evidence in science?
Physical samples of rock extracted (taken) from deep within Earths crust.
Why Describe how fossils can provide evidence of how environmental conditions and life have changed during earths history?
hi
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Why are fossils important to earths history as a planet?
Fossils aren't but the life that made them is.
Is the studies of fossils called palaeontology?
Yes, Paleontology (also spelt Palaeontology) is the study of earths natural history, through fossil and mineral evidence.
What type of clues can fossils provide about earths history?
Fossils help us learn about the past, like if a fish fossil was in your backyard, then your backyard was covered with water. They also help us with the fossils where the setting was then, and what animals lived there.
How is earths geolgic history determined?
it is determined by studying the relative and absolute ages of rocks and fossils
Fossils tell how earths land blank blank and living things have changed over time fill in the blank.?
Fossils tell how Earth's landforms, climate, and ecosystems have changed over time. They provide valuable clues about the past by preserving evidence of ancient organisms and environments.
Do fossils define earths history?
yes. It gives vital clues to uncover the events that once occurred on earth.
If holes drilled sveral kilometers into earths crust provide direct evidence about earths interior in the form of what?
Rock samples
Holes drilled several kilometers into the earths crust provide direct evidence about earths interiors in the form of?
Rock Samples.
What can scientist learn from earths past from fossils?
Scientists can learn about the evolution of different species, past environments, and the impact of geological events on life by studying fossils. Fossils provide valuable information about extinct plants and animals, their behavior, and their adaptations to changing conditions over time. Additionally, studying fossils can help scientists understand the patterns of extinction and diversification throughout Earth's history.
A trace of prehistoric life preserved in the earths crust?
Fossils are physical evidence of prehistoric life that is preserved in the Earth's crust. These remnants can include the remains of plants, animals, and other organisms that lived long ago, providing valuable insights into the history of life on our planet. The study of fossils helps scientists understand the evolution and biodiversity of life over millions of years.
