Define evolution? How does it occur? Describe how fossils provide us evidence in support of evolution.

DEFINITION OF EVOLUTION:-
Evolution is the process of acquiring change or The scientific idea that plants and animals developed gradually from simple to more complicated forms.
Process of evolution are as follows:-
1.Most life forms that we see today had variations that acccumulated overs to allow the organisms possessing them to survive better.
Examples:Elongation of neck and forelimbs in giraffe,Human evolution ( From Homo habilus to Homo sapiens-present man) ,different life process (nutrition,circulation,excretion,reproduction,etc) evolved through evolution and many more .
FOSSILS:Fossils are evidences of ancient life forms or ancient habitats which have been preserved by natural processes.
-They provide us actual remains of once lived such as bones or seeds or even traces of past events.
Examples - Dinosarus , Archeopterxy(acts as a connecting linkage between aves and reptiles),etc
The study of fossils is called Palaeontology .It determine the age of fossils by using carbon dating method.

♦ Evolution is the process of change from simple life forms to complex life forms by gradual change. It is generating diversity and shaping the diversity.
♦ It occurs over the course of time and generations by variation, speciation, natural selection, genetic drift etc. Fossils are preserved traces of living organisms.
♦ It helps us to find the intermediate forms in between two classes etc. For example fossils of archaeopteryx helps us to know better about the intermediate form between reptiles and aves.
♦ It tells about the extinct species through the fossil or their retained body impressions.
♦ It helps us to know the evolutionary relationships.
♦ This also shows the line of development from primitive to complex organisms.
