FOSSIL RECORD –
Types of fossils –
Usefulness –

Fossils along matching edges of current continents –
1
BIOGEOGRAPHY –
relationships between local fossils and living species –
Lack of relationships between fossils in similar climates around world –
COMPARATIVE EMBRYOLOGY –
COMPARATIVE ANATOMY –
COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY –
Common molecule types –
2
Universal genetic code –
Amino acid sequences –
DNA sequences –
EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION –
