Traditional fossils provide evidence for evolution by showing the progression of species over time. By studying the different fossilized remains of plants and animals, scientists can track the changes in physical characteristics, behaviors, and distributions of species through different geologic time periods. This helps to create a timeline of evolution and understand how certain species have evolved and adapted to changing environments over time. Additionally, fossils provide a record of extinct species, allowing scientists to understand the history of life on Earth and the processes of natural selection and genetic variation that have driven evolution.
