Darwin's Theory Of Evidence: Is Evolution Real?
The theory of evolution says that the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor. There is a lot of evidence for the theory of evolution. Some might be fossil record, embryology, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biography. Darwin was one of the first people to try to figure out what evolution is. He did a lot of research and experiments to find out if evolution is real or not. He even went on a voyage to find more evidence to prove that evolution is real. The first piece of evidence that helps prove that evolution is real is fossil record. Some fossils of extinct animals looked like animals that are living today. One example is the armadillo.

An embryo is an unborn animal or human. Different species have similar traits as they are an embryo. An example might be that a fish and human both have gill slits before birth. Embryology shows that the animals are similar and that they develop similarly, have common ancestors and that they started out the same, and as time went by their traits changed, but the animal's beginning remains the same. The third piece of evidence that supports how evolution is real is comparative anatomy. Comparative anatomy is comparing physical characteristics of organisms to determine their evolutionary relationships. Some organisms have anatomical structures that are almost the same as embryological development. Another name for this is homologous structures. Since these structures are so alike, they make a common ancestor of the species that possess them. An example might be mammals. Mammals have a lot of the same physical characteristics. The fourth piece of evidence that helps prove that evolution is real is molecular biology. Molecular biology helped Darwin a lot to find out if evolution is real. Molecular biology is the branch of biology that deals with the structure or function of proteins. One example might that roundworms share 25% of their genes with
