only fossils

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. Fossils, along with the comparative anatomy of present-day organisms, constitute the morphological, or anatomical, record.
Detailed explanation-2: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fossil records are both support and are supported by other evidence. Comparative anatomy compares the structures of organisms of both living species and fossils. Comparisons of anatomical features in different organisms often provide evidence to support the theory of evolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Five types of evidence for evolution are discussed in this section: ancient organism remains, fossil layers, similarities among organisms alive today, similarities in DNA, and similarities of embryos.
