Definition1/8
It tells you when the animal that made a fossil was alive.
Radio carbon dating proves scientifically the age of a given
material. If a fossil is found embedded in material that is x
number of years old and a similar fossil is found x number of years
older or younger then we can surmise the evolution of that species.
There are thousands of examples of theoretical evolution using this
method.
