Artificial Selection Answer Artificial Selection is the breeding
of certain traits (better traits) over other traits. For example,
breeding a good male horse with excellent racing qualities with a
healthy female horse so that the offspring will have the desired
traits such as the racing qualities. Another example is breeding
good size fruits or vegetable together to keep on getting the good
size.
Selection done by humans looking to maximize traits in animals
under domestication. These traits are not always for the benefit of
the organism though. Men raise these animals and mate the ones they
think will breed true for a man favored trait and cull the rest of
the organisms by killing them, or by not allowing them to
breed.

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.

Definition1/15
Finches developed many different adaptations. For example, one type of finch had a short strong beak meant for cracking seeds, while another had a long narrow beak for gathering food from the inside of flowers, and cacti, therefore making each species more adapted to its specific environment and more able to gather food then they would on another island with a different main food source.
