Proof of Evolution

 Summary: People can say about anything and you can believe it or not. Like I could say that the sky is purple or that the Earth is flat. Yet those statements mean nothing without anything to back it up. That's why when you hear about Evolution the first question you should ask is How do you know? Let's look into just a few examples of how Evolution can be proved. The fossil record; this is when you look at the fossils within layer of sediment rocks and see how the bones of animals can be connected and how they gradually change. Fossils can strongly support that animals evolve over time and how they have a common ancestor. Next we can look at embryology. This is when you look at early development of different mammals and see how similar they look in their fetus shape. It is near impossible to tell the difference between a early pig and a human. This can show that we are possibly related since we look basically the same in the beginning.

S&EP: Using Models: We created a giant poster to organize somewhat of a fossil record. We had the Adventuran fossils all the back from the Cambrian. First we organized them by oldest to newest. Then we can observe how they gradually changed over time.For example over time they split off into two different variations. The grey heads and the white heads all came from one common ancestor. Back in the Cambrian there was only one type of organism. Then it split off after evolution and gradual changes. This activity was supposed to be an example of how a fossil record works and how you can see the relationship between organisms that seem very different.

XCC: Stability and Change: Evolution. The gradual change of organisms. The theory saying that all animals have one singular common ancestor. It may seem random and just a chance change and for the most part it kinda is. How could Evolution have such order when it comes from disorder. Well it actually is somewhat predictable. There is a 50% chance of getting a trait one of the parents have. Its impossible for two brown furred cats to have a white furred cat. Then Natural Selection of course. Something Darwin suggested while observing his finches. His finches were all different across the different island. Natural Selection provided the finches different becks so they could eat what they needed. Natural Selection dwindles down the best in a population for better or for worst.
