Darwin’s theory of natural selection is not supported by the geological or fossil record‚ since there have been little to no remains of intermediate species found in fossils. Darwin explains this by using the imperfection of the geological record‚ as changes in land over time means that species will often not be preserved in a way that can be studied by scientists. He also references Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology‚ which states that the earth’s surface is constantly changing‚ as evidenced
