Question

Describe three different types of evidence that scientists use to support the theory of evolution. Explain how each piece of evidence supports the theory of evolution.

2. Fossil evidence: organisms changing form over time through the fossil record.

Direct observation. We can directly observe small-scale evolution in organisms

with short lifecycles (e.g., pesticide-resistant insects).
