Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils provide important evidence for evolution and the adaptation of plants and animals to their environments. Fossil evidence provides a record of how creatures evolved and how this process can be represented by a ‘tree of life’, showing that all species are related to each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils document the existence of now-extinct species, showing that different organisms have lived on Earth during different periods of the planet’s history. They can also help scientists reconstruct the evolutionary histories of present-day species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fossils tell about the ancient organisms’ life and their evolution on earth millions of years ago. Fossils are direct evidence of evolution. It tells about the life found on ancient earth. By studying fossil records palaeontologists reveal the connecting link between different organisms of the past and present.
