  2. Evidence of common descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_common_descent

    A large body of molecular evidence supports a variety of mechanisms for large evolutionary changes, including: genome and gene duplication, which facilitates rapid evolution by providing substantial quantities of genetic material under weak or no selective constraints; horizontal gene transfer, the process of transferring genetic material to ...

  3. Level of support for evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution

    According to a 2009 survey conducted by the British Council, 77% of people in India agree that enough scientific evidence exists to support evolution. [112] [113] Also, 85% of God believing Indians who know about evolution agree that life on earth evolved over time as a result of natural selection. [112]

    Othniel C. Marsh, America's first palaeontologist, was the first to provide solid fossil evidence to support Darwin's theory of evolution by unearthing the ancestors of the modern horse. [328] In 1877, Marsh delivered a very influential speech before the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, providing a ...

  5. Multiregional origin of modern humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiregional_origin_of...

    Multiregional evolution holds that the human species first arose around two million years ago and subsequent human evolution has been within a single, continuous human species. This species encompasses all archaic human forms such as Homo erectus , Denisovans , and Neanderthals as well as modern forms, and evolved worldwide to the diverse ...

    However, current evidence in the fossil record supports the concept of mass extinctions. As a result, the general idea of catastrophism has re-emerged as a valid hypothesis for at least some of the rapid changes in life forms that appear in the fossil records.

    Yet the scientific evidence for human evolution keeps piling up with many discoveries of ancient bones, stone tools, cave drawings and other evidence of ancient life. For most people, only modern ...

    The evidence of pax-6, however, was that the same genes controlled the development of the eyes of all these animals, suggesting that they all evolved from a common ancestor. [9] Ancient genes had been conserved through millions of years of evolution to create dissimilar structures for similar functions, demonstrating deep homology between ...

    The functionality of LUCA as well as evidence for the early evolution membrane-dependent biological systems together suggest that LUCA had cellularity and cell membranes. [23] As for the cell's gross structure, it contained a water-based cytoplasm effectively enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane; it was capable of reproducing by cell division. [15]
