what are the evidences which prove evolution is a real process?

Answer 1

Every fossil, every observation in biology points to evolution. There is nothing that goes against it or points to a different way to scientifically explain modern diversity. There is not one fossil or one piece of DNA that does NOT point to evolution. It would be hard NOT to see the concrete evidence, and only those blinded by faith can do this.

Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.

There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.

Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnent and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.

There are some areas of evolution in which all of the pieces have not been found in the fossil record, but there is no counter theory that has even ONE piece of evidence that can not easily be explained by evolution.

Let me turn the question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution or http://www.talkorigins.org ) and find out for yourself.

Answer 2

There are thousands of books at various levels of understanding, all with plenty of evidence. The only thing you need to believe evolution is the ability to not ignore it.
Try "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin, or "the Ascent of Man" by Jacob Bronowski as definitive texts. For an example of adaptive change and evolution in the modern world, search for pesticide resistance in Locusts and antibiotic resistance iin bacteria, and the Speckled Moth in industrial England.

Answer 3

Ther are numerous pieces of evidence to prove that
1. Fossil records, these show that living things were definitely not like they are now, meaning that some sort of 'change', in other words, EVOLUTION must have taken place..there's also the discovery of missing links like the archeopteryx, which is thought to be an intermediate between reptiles and birds. Fossils have also allowed us to trace almost the whole of the evolutionary histories of organisms like the horse or ours homo sapiens.

2. then there's the molecule of life itself..DNA, which contains many unexpressed sequences which allow the genome a certain degree of plasticity, that is mutations are allowed within the genome, and over long periods of time, this can account for evolution.

3. if you look at the developmental biology of organisms, you will see that they go through stages which are remniscent of our ancestors.
if you take a human foetus, for example, first of all it lives in an aqueous medium and possesses pharyngeal slits, which can possibly explain the theory that life originated from the sea, and of course the striking similarity between foetuses of different vertebrates is also a piece of evidence that says we are all from a common ancestor. There are also vestigial structures with no obvious function but have been retained in organisms.

4. You've also got direct evidence of evolution. one example is Darwin's finches which have undergone adaptive radiation due to environmental pressures.

5 Homology among organisms of different groups, meaning that some organs in different groups of organims have the same basic plan but differ due to adapttion to different enviroments e.g the pentadactyl limbs of mammals..and analogy, which is similarity between structures in different organisms due to adaptation for similar functions, e.g the fins of sharks and dolphins.

Answer 4

many species have been studied and in particular from the Galapagos Islands, where Darwin first made his discovery

It was found that the species living there were well suited to their environment, in other words, they had adapted to suit the conditions there

we know for example, that bacteria evolves

we see natural selection occuring within fish species

there is plenty of evidence out there, including the fossil records

If you are really interested in the subject...read a few biology books on evolution, you'll be in for a treat!

Answer 5

Evolution in plants and animals can be directly observed, making that a simple fact that can't reasonably be disputed.

But, are you asking specifically about human evolution? Evolving into humans (from an anscestor comon to both humans and chimps) took hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of years. The Archeological record seems to indicate that humans evolved.

Scientists were recently able to do a partial anaylsys of Neanderthal DNA which indicates a similarity between Neanderthal and Human DNA, about the same as the difference between Human and Chimp DNA.

"They show that Neanderthals diverged from the evolutionary line that led to modern humans about 315,000 years ago." - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4986668.stm

Answer 6

A very simple example in humans is "wisdom teeth". People who have them and never need them removed are considered less evolved or more closely resemble our ancestors that needed them for chewing tough plants and meat. Most people these days get wisdom teeth and need them removed, because our jaws are smaller and we do not require the extra molars for chewing our more refined and processed foods. Many children now are actually being born without them and represent our future evolution. It is a small and simple adaptation, but one that can easily explain that we are continuously changing and evolving.

Answer 7

Homology -- variations (sometimes extreme) of basic anatomic structures between related species
Divergence -- different modifications to fill different niches
(e.g. Darwin's finches)
The fossil record -- intermediate and transition forms for modern and extinct species.
Genetic sequencing -- comparison of variations in common genes

Answer 8

Darwin's theories on evolution and the evolution of man through the ages (ie:cro-magnon, etc.).

Answer 9

formation of the human brain when compared to other animals. also the closeness of DNA between humans and Chimpanzees. there is a 98-99% similarity.
