What are fossils? What do they tell us about the process of evolution ?
Answers
Answer:
A fossil is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants.
Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; fossils show a progression of evolution.
Fossils, along with the comparative anatomy of present-day organisms, constitute the morphological, or anatomical, record.
By comparing the anatomies of both modern and extinct species, paleontologists can infer the lineages of those species. This approach is most successful for organisms that had hard body parts, such as shells, bones or teeth. The resulting fossil record tells the story of the past and shows the evolution of form over millions of years................
