Arguments proevolution

whats evolution
Evolution is the random change in a species genome that gives the species a profitable advantage. Thenthe next generation would inherit this profitable advantage in their genome. Lets find out which are the facts that support evolution.

Fossil record
Fossils show that species have changed gradually throughout the years. The fossil record also provides abundant evidence that the complex animals and plants of today were preceded by earlier simple ones.

Examples
Archaeopteryx. It had jaws with teeth and a long bony tail like dinosaurs, broad wings and feathers like birds, and skeletal features of both. This discovery verified the assumption that birds had reptilian ancestors.

Geographical distribution
The division of the land where a species lived into two parts made the species evolve in a different way. The evolution of long time isolated species will make it change a lot and dont have any similaritity with others such as mammals from Australia.

Chemical similarities
All living beings are compound of the most common elements such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Despite the great diversity of life on our planet, the simple language of the DNA code is the same for all living things.

Anatomical similarities
Many groups of species share the same types of body structures because they inherited them from a common ancestor that had them.

Embrionary development
Embryos of different species are very similar during the first weeks. That supports the idea that organisms have inherited development patterns.

After all this evidences it is clear that evolution is a fact, and not just a hypothesis.
