Evolution-Evidences of Evolution

This document discusses evidence for organic evolution from homologous structures, analogous structures, vestigial structures, and the fossil record. It addresses concepts like homologous organs providing evidence of common descent, analogous organs showing convergent evolution, vestigial structures like the ear muscles representing ancestral traits, and fossils like Archaeopteryx demonstrating reptile-bird transitions. The document contains multiple choice questions testing understanding of these core evidence areas supporting the theory of evolution.
