The evidence for animal and human evolution is so overwhelming that it is not possible to list it all within the scope of a short .

Following decades of research, Charles Darwin published his book, The Evolution of Species in 1859. This contains copious evidence for evolution by natural selection, yet Darwin barely touched on the wealth of detail that we now have on evolution.

Darwin, writing at a time when the known fossil record was scanty, barely touched on what we now know. We now have an extensive fossil record of the evolution of numerous species, with intermediate forms showing how one species or genus has gradually evolved into others.

A good scientific theory should be able to predict facts that we do not yet know. The discoverers of Tiktaalik Roseaebelieved that the Theory of Evolution predicted that a species intermediate between fish and amphibians should be discovered in specific rock layers of a proposed search area, went there and soon found what they were looking for.

Recent advances in our knowledge of DNA now mean that we have another scientific basis for animal evolution. For example, scientists can use DNA evidence to ascertain that our human ancestors diverged from the ancestors of the chimpanzee some seven million years ago. That this seems consistent with the dossil record should not be regarded as a mere coincidence.
