Eusthenopteron is a link in a chain of evidence supporting evolution. Transitional forms have been found that are elements of its development from a fish that lived entirely in the ocean to the tetrapods that walked on land. These progressive changes spanned million of years in the late Devonian, from the fish Eusthenopteron, through Tiktaalik, and Acanthostega, to the oldest known tetrapod, Ichthyostega. Eusthenopteron was fish in the ocean, but a portion of that ocean became landlocked and is now part of Pennsylvania. In Darwin's evolution there are mechanisms for development of new genetic information. One of them is described by Ilya Prigogine. Another is Lamarck's evolution (this requires a feedback loop), which is a subset of Darwin's evolution. A third is... well, I'll leave it to you to research on your own.

Did Charles Darwin have evidence to prove evolution?

No, of course not. Evidence does not prove evolution - it validates the theory.Evidence which Darwin had included limited fossils, and observed apparent speciation in birds.

Yes. However, it is possible to PROVE the validity of evolution on an evidential basis.


How do hummingbirds disprove evolution?

They do not. Nothing "disproves" evolution. It is impossible to prove or disprove anything scientifically. That's a basic rule of science: everything is subjected to doubt.


Has Lamarck's theory of evolution been proved?

Scientists do not prove things. Lamarck's theory is long refuted as acquired characteristics and the use and disuse concepts are not explanations for evolution of populations.

How does scientist prove half ape-half man?

They can't prove anything about Charles Darwin's evolution. Here's the thing they cant prove, along with everything else, humans being able to reason. Apes can't do that, they do everything by instinct.


Does evidence prove or disprove evolution?

Law and math prove things. Science supports tentative ( more or less ) explanations of natural phenomenon with evidence. The evidence overwhelmingly supports evolutionary theory. PS Evolution itself is a observed and observable fact.

How does selection prove evolution?

Science has no capacity to completely prove something... However these are some facts that make it likely to be true. - An extensive fossil record which completely conforms to predictions. - Observing evolution in action (such as the flu virus changing ever year, the HIV virus changing all the time, speciation in plants and animals in non-lab environments, lab experiments etc). - Paternity testing (the techniques used in paternity testing are also used to demonstrate how closely related different species are). - DNA (all organisms use the exact same code for proteins) - similarities in phylogeny (why do we share so many features with other organisms?) - similarities in DNA conform to the predictions made by evolution


Can science make a centaur?

I am sorry to say no. A centaur is a mythical creature. And science has yet to prove the evolution of at least one new species.
