The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.
1.) similar fossils were found on different continents.
2.)the continents seemed to fit together; they were like a spread apart puzzle.
3.)geographical features and mountain ranges lined up with the same rock composition
4.)glacier grooves in rocks led him to trace them out to where they started

Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits. For example, a rabbit can't choose to have a different fur color.
