Detailed explanation-1: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation. Key points: Evidence for evolution comes from many different areas of biology: Anatomy.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Perhaps the most persuasive fossil evidence for evolution is the consistency of the sequence of fossils from early to recent. Nowhere on Earth do we find, for example, mammals in Devonian (the age of fishes) strata, or human fossils coexisting with dinosaur remains.
