The document provides evidence for evolution from four areas: fossil records, comparative anatomy, embryonic development, and amino acid sequences. It describes how fossils found in sedimentary rock layers provide evidence of how species have changed over generations. Comparative anatomy shows homologous and analogous structures between species, indicating shared ancestry or convergent evolution. Embryonic development reveals similarity between species in early embryonic stages even if adults differ. Finally, greater similarity in amino acid sequences between organisms suggests a closer evolutionary relationship and common ancestor.

What is EVOLUTION?
In biology, evolution is the change in the
characteristics of a species over several generations
and relies on the process of natural selection.
The theory of evolution is based on the idea that
all species? are related and gradually change over
time.
8.
Organisms inhabitingthe earth changed
over time, their structures, traits, and
abilities allowed them to adapt and survive
in their environment.
9.
Data fromfossil records, anatomy and
morphology, embryonic development and
biochemistry could be analyzed to
demonstrate if evolution of life on earth
has taken place.

1. Evidence fromFossils Records
Have you ever seen fossils of any organism?
Fossils are examples of evidences that
paleontologist use in studying evolution.
Who are the paleontologist?

1. Evidence fromFossils Records
Paleontologist
a person who studies or is an expert in the branch of
science concerned with fossil animals and plants.
Who are the paleontologist?
Paleontology
is the branch of science concerned with fossil animals
and plants.

1. Evidence fromFossils Records
Fossils are the traces of organism that lived
in the past and were preserved by natural
process or catastrophic event.
They can be remains of organisms which
includes bones, shells, teeth and also feces
embedded in rocks, peat, resin, and ice.

1.Evidence from FossilsRecords
The age of fossils is determined through fossil dating. It can
be specified as either relative or absolute dating.
RELATIVE DATING
Method used to determine the age of the rocks by
comparing them with the rocks in the other layer. The
younger sedimentary rock layer is assumed to be found
on top and the older rock is found at the bottom layer.
Fossil found at the bottom layer is assumed to be older
than those on the upper layer.

1. Evidence fromFossils Records
The age of fossils is determined through fossil dating. It can
be specified as either relative or absolute dating.
ABSOLUTE DATING
is through the use of radioactive isotopes such as carbon 14.
Radiometric dating is a method used to determine the age of
rocks using the decay radioactive isotopes present in rocks. All
organisms has carbon 14 in it.
Plants and animals that are still alive constantly replace the
supply of carbon in their body and the amount of carbon 14 in
their body stays the same

2.Comparative Anatomy
HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE
Structurefrom different species which have similar internal
framework, position, and embryonic development are
considered to be homologous.
Homologous structures may perform different functions in
the species living in the different environment , or it may
have the same origin but different functions.
2.Comparative Anatomy
HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE
.
Thepresence of
homologous structure
is a strong indicator
that the organisms
evolved from central
ancestors.
This type of evolution
is called divergent
evolution.

2.Comparative Anatomy
ANALOGOUS STRUCTURE
Structuresof unrelated species may evolved to
alike, because the structure is adapted to similar
function. These are called analogous structures.
Analogous structures have similar functions but
different origin.
2.Comparative Anatomy
ANALOGOUS STRUCTURE
Inconvergent evolution, the
analogous structure of
unrelated organisms from
different ancestors develop
similar function such butterfly
wings and birds wings.

3. Embryonic Development
Anembryo is an early stage of development in organisms.
Embryonic development include stages such as blastula,
gastrula, and organogenesis.
The embryo of fishes, salamanders, lizards, birds, cats, and
humans have similar during the first stage of their embryonic
development.
27.
3. Embryonic Development
Theyhave several homologous structures that are not
present when the organisms are adult.
Studies shows that species that are closely related exhibit
similar embryonic development. Even when in adult stage, the
organisms are quite different.
28.
4. Amino AcidSequence
The greater the similarity in amino acid sequence,
the closer the relationship of the organisms. The
organisms which are similar in structure and also
possess similarity at the biochemical level could
probably have a common ancestor.
