What are fossils?

16. $300 Question from H2
The idea that geological change is slow and gradual rather than fast was a part of what disproven theory of evolution?

17. What is uniformitarianism?
$300 Answer from H2
What is uniformitarianism?

18. $400 Question from H2
This scientist conducted the first detailed study of fossils and provided evidence that species evolved from simple to more complex organisms.

19. $400 Answer from H2
Who is Georges Cuvier?

20. $500 Question from H2
During the time of Aristotle ( BC), most Europeans believed that all living things had been created in their present form, explaining natural phenomena based on these.

29. $400 Answer from H3
What is food supply?

30. $500 Question from H3
The existence of these structures among distantly related species is anatomical evidence that all living things share a common evolutionary origin.

31. What are homologous structures?
$500 Answer from H3
What are homologous structures?
