1. Evidence that supports evolution

2. Evidence 1: Biogeography
Some organisms tend to be SIMILAR but different in geographically separate areas
Ex: zebra in Africa and horses in Mongolia
This is due to having a COMMON ancestor but then “evolving” once they were isolated (Gondwanaland)

5. Evidence 2: The Fossil Record

6. Caste

7. Moulds

8. Frozen relics
Mammoth calf

9. Organisms preserved in amber

10. Organisms preserved in tar pits

11. Bone and teeth replaced with stone

12. How fossils form

13. Evidence 3: Comparative Anatomy
By looking at the structures found in different species of animal, we can see evidence of a COMMON ORIGIN…
Ex: Wings of a bird and wings of a bat; bones in the hand of a human and bones in the flipper of a whale

14. Homologous (same) structures

15. Analogous (different) structures

16. Vestigial (not used) organs

17. Evidence 4: Comparative embryology

18. Evidence 5: Molecular Biology
Every living thing uses DNA
Some amino acids are THE SAME between species
We are just 2 amino acids difference to a gorilla!

19. Evidence 6: Domestication
We have SELECTED specific traits over generations to turn:
A wolf into a poodle!
A crabapple into a “granny smith”
We select traits and breed plants and animals for specific purposes and “change” it over time
