Presentation on theme: "Evidence for Evolution"— Presentation transcript:

1 Evidence for Evolution

2 Fossils: Show relationships between life from the past, and present life.

3 The embryonic development of vertebrates is similar.

4 Homologous Structures: Similar body structures show relationships

5 DNA: Shows genetic similarities and relationships
DNA: Shows genetic similarities and relationships. Changes to DNA, mutations, result in new species over time.

6 Branching trees are used to show relationships and common ancestors.

7 Human Tree of Life
