Evidence for evolution

How long would this take?

Why are whale fossils found in the desert?

Why are these human – like skulls the only fossils found in old rocks Why are these human – like skulls the only fossils found in old rocks. Where are the fossils of us?

What happened to these creatures?

What happened to most of the fossils found in rocks? Trilobites are found in every where in the rocks of ancient oceans. They are found in rocks of 530-240 million years ago.

What happened to Thylacaleo It died out about 46 000 years ago at the same time as Australia dried out and humans arrived

Looking at DNA Looking at DNA of different species shows that those that evolutionary theory says are related have similar DNA

We share 96% of our DNA with chimpanzees
