Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; fossils show a progression of evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fossil record provides snapshots of the past which, when assembled, illustrate a panorama of evolutionary change over the past 3.5 billion years. The picture may be smudged in places and has bits missing, but fossil evidence clearly shows that life is very, very old and has changed over time through evolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fossils give us a useful insight into the history of life on Earth. They can teach us where life and humans came from, show us how the Earth and our environment have changed through geological time, and how continents, now widely separated, were once connected.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of these statements best explains how fossil records provide evidence to the scientific theory of evolution? They show how natural selection happened on Earth by chance.
