Evidence from fossil record from "summary" of On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin
The fossil record provides us with a valuable glimpse into the history of life on Earth. It allows us to see the progression of life forms over millions of years, offering evidence of how species have changed and evolved over time. Fossils provide us with tangible evidence of the existence of organisms that lived long ago, allowing us to study their physical characteristics and infer how they may have lived and interacted with their environment. By examining the fossil record, we can observe the gradual changes that have occurred in various species over time. We can see how certain traits have been modified or lost, and how new traits have emerged through the process of natural selection. Fossils also provide us with a unique perspective on the diversity of life that has existed on Earth, showing us the vast array of species that have inhabited our planet throughout i...
