Drew Ashlee G. Mari BSMT1G FOSSIL RECORD Transitional fossils Shows the chronological order of species' appearance and disappearance. EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION COMPARATIVE ANATOMY Similar structures in different species suggest a common ancestry. Some creatures have non-functional features that are signs of evolutionary remainders. COMPARATIVE EMBRYOLOGY Embryos of diverse organisms often resemble each other in their early stages. BIOGEOGRAPHY Due to shared ancestry, similar species can exist in isolated environments on other continents. Investigations carried out in laboratories to show how organisms evolve quickly. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE FOR MACROEVOLUTION CONVERGENT EVOLUTION Suggests that identical structures can be created through evolution in response to related problems. MOLECULAR EVIDENCE Comparisons of DNA and protein sequences show that different animals share genetic traits.
