For the hypothesis of evolution we use; Written evidence, oral evidence, visual evidence, and physical evidence.
Written evidence is anything that is presented in print form, such as a letter, quotation, invoice, email, etc.
oral evidence provided in court by a witness, typically under oath. Oral evidence comprises information that a person called as a witness provides in writing, by signs, or by use of any device due to a disability, disorder, or other impairment.
visual evidence comprises computer-generated images, photographs, maps, movies, blueprints, drawings, surveys, and models. Visual evidence is defined as visuals or images with sound intended to be presented into evidence at a hearing event.
physical evidence always comes from a living thing, but physical evidence can be any object with a non living origin.
Look, we always mention audio tapes, an interview or comment made during a meeting in a tape. And the question is what do you 'copy down' so you can only copy it in a tape as audio tapes cannot be copied in the notebook or any other stationary items.
