What does fossil evidence show about evolution?


Sagot :

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Fossils provide physical examples of what organisms have looked like over time. For example, we can look at giraffes over time, who have evolved to have had long necks. When we look as fossil records of giraffes and similar species, we see that the longer ago that animal lived, the shorter their neck was, and as time progresses, the neck gets longer. However, we also see that in general the giraffes with longer necks, regardless of time period, will have lived longer and healthier lives (we can usually tell this just by how big the fossil is), as with longer necks the animal was able to reach more food and live longer. That giraffe then reproduced and shared their longer neck traits, while those with genetic markings to make their necks shorter will have died before reproducing. Therefore, we can see all forms of evolution through fossils.
