ummm half of these are written....
uhh yup i think so it 1(aka a)
No problem OmgTEAIsCORECCCT. Haha I like your name. But yeah these answers are correct
Yes thank you tea. I was gonna help but you already did.
To find the answer to this question, we need to understand the historical context of when evolution was first proposed. The theory of evolution was first put forward by Charles Darwin in his book "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859. During that time, laboratory experiments and genetic sequences were not yet understood or available as evidence for evolution.
However, Darwin did present several lines of evidence to support his theory, primarily based on observations of nature and extensive fossil collections. Therefore, the correct answer to your question would be 1. observations of nature.
Darwin spent many years studying various species and collecting extensive evidence from different parts of the world. He observed patterns of variation within species, similarities and differences between related species, and the adaptation of organisms to their environments. These observational data formed the basis for his theory of evolution by natural selection.
In addition to observations of nature, Darwin also examined and compared different fossil specimens. Fossils provided evidence of species that had become extinct, showing a historical record of changes in past life forms. This, too, supported the idea of evolution over long periods of time.
It is important to note that laboratory experiments and genetic sequences became significant evidence for evolution after Darwin's time, as advances in science and technology allowed for more in-depth understanding of genetics and the ability to study evolution in controlled settings. However, they were not available as evidence when the theory was initially proposed.
