Four main points of evidence for evolution
Biogeography, anatomy, molecular bio, direct observation
Biogeography
when we separate the same species differently it will evolve differently
anatomy
the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts.
molecular bio
Testing DNA to see patterns between species
taking DNA from fossil records and comparing the DNA to similar animals of today
Direct Observation
Observing evolution directly in the enviroment
Homologous
When two or more species share a specific trait because they share a common ancestor
Analogous
when two or more species share a specific trait due to similar environments or selective pressures
vestigial structure
non-functioning feature
