1.  Darwin´stheory explains why individuals are
usually well adapted to their environment
= an inherited trait present in a
population because the trait helps individuals
to survive and reproduce in a specific
environment

2.  Darwin believed evolution occurred due to
differences in the fossil record (all existing
fossils)

3.  Darwin studied locations of organisms
 Similar environments cause the evolution of
organisms in similar ways

4.  Common patterns and structures of
developing embryos could mean common
ancestors

5.  Many internal similarities exist in bodily
structure

6.  Changeover time can be traced through
changes in DNA

7. Darwin was the first person to
propose evolution give supporting
evidence (others had proposed evolution
but didn´t have proof)
Darwin´s theory of natural
selection gave a reason for evolution to
occur
Darwin
showed variation in species everywhere
(species did not stay the same forever).
This diversity is the starting point of
evolution.
