Evidence of Evolution

There is a numerous amount of evidence that supports Evolution. Below are some examples of evidence that Evolution may have existed:

Homologous structure:  These are body parts that are alike because the species share a common ancestor. These structures may serve the same or different functions. For example, the wing of a bird and the arm of a human have very different functions, but are homologous structures because of the evolutionary relationship between birds and humans. 

Examples: 
              


Fossils: The remains of an organism in history, preserved  in a petrified form, or as a mold.

Examples:



 
 

Vestigal Structures: Structures of an organism, that over time have little or no uses and become smaller, or even disappear.
