How has your knowledge of the fossil record changed since darwin proposed his theory of natural selection?
Many more fossils have been found, some of our ancestors and we have dated the earth to be 4.5billion years old. We can take samples of ice deep in glaciers to look back into the environment at the time. We know that the further we go back in the fossil record the simpler organisms get. We can find deactivated genetic material for tails in human DNA. We have a full understanding of DNA and how it mutates and much more.
