Evidence for evolution

It is a misconception to believe that the only evidence for evolution involves fossils. Evolution can be proven based on multiple lines of evidence. The anatomical similarity among different animals, the geographic location of various species, the similarities among the proteins found in living things, and the DNA composition in similar species all prove that evolution is a fact.

Few scientific theories are as robust as evolution. It rests on anatomic, genetic, geographic, molecular, geologic, and paleontological evidence. There are even hundreds of examples of evolution happening today.

Let us now look at some of the multiple lines of evidence that all point to the fact that evolution does indeed occur.
