What are some examples of evidence we have for evolution?

Answer 1

Fossil evidence, homologies, similarities in ontogeny, molecular evidence, & geographic distribution are some of the most powerful examples of evidence for evolution.

Evolution involves changes in allele frequencies within populations over time. These changes may or may not result in the formation of new species. The ability to read an organisms genome has greatly enhanced our understanding of the molecular evidence supporting evolution. Molecular evidence provides some of the most powerful evidence of change that can be directly observed. We can directly measure and observe allele frequencies changing from generation to generation.

Examples of evidence for evolution include fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, and observed instances of natural selection in action.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
