Evidence for Evolution
Information about the different types of evidence that support the Theory of Evolution. This includes biogeography, vestigial structures, fossil evidence, embryology, DNA evidence, and homologous structures, among others.
Anatomical Evidence for Evolution
A list of different forms of anatomical evidence that support the Theory of Evolution.
Fossil Record
Explanation of how fossils are formed and how the fossil record and supports the Theory of Evolution.
Vestigial Structures in Humans
Vestigial structures in humans are considered evidence for human evolution. Learn more about the appendix, coccyx, plica luminaris, and the arrector pili muscle.
