Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -A transitional fossil is any fossilized remains of a life form that exhibits traits common to both an ancestral group and its derived descendant group.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fossils are essential evidence for evolution because they show that life on Earth was different in the past than it is now. They can use techniques like radiometric dating to determine the age of fossils and so classify them to determine evolutionary links between things.
