Detailed explanation-1: -Biogeographical patterns provide clues about how species, both alive and extinct, are related to each other. The fossil record, though incomplete, provides valuable information about what species existed at particular times in Earth’s history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Broadly, the theory of evolution is supported by biogeography through evidence such as the species on Earth being distributed around the planet based on their genetic relationships to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Darwin used multiple lines of evidence to support his theory of evolution by natural selection–fossil evidence, biogeographical evidence, and anatomical evidence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.
