Evidence for Evolution

Evolution is supported by a vast array of scientific evidence gathered from multiple disciplines, such as geographical, geological, physical, biochemical, and mathematical data. Each of these provides unique insights that help us understand how life has changed over time. This diverse evidence forms the foundation for the theory of evolution, linking organisms across time and space and showing how they are connected through common ancestry.
