8+Evidence+for+evolution+JE+andKS

Scientists have found multiple types of evidence to support evolution. Scientist found evidence in fossils, anatomy, geography, and in embryology to support the theory of evolution.

Anatomy:

This is a picure of the whale ancestors. Over time mammals turned into sea creatures. When it comes to evolvability, time is the least important factor to consider. The rate of evolution is determined primarily by population size, reproduction rates, and mutation rates. The larger the population, the smaller the generation times, and the faster the mutation rates, the faster the rate of evolution. The smaller the population, the larger the generation times, and the slower the mutation rates, the slower the rate of evolution. If you have a small population, long generation times, and an average mutation rate, it will take a long time for mutations to create enough raw materials on which natural selection can act. To see how this works, contrast whales and mice. Because of the small population size and long generation times of whales, it takes whales 200 million years to accumulate the same number of mutations mice can accumulate in 1500 years. If mice haven’t changed in 1500 years, then why should we expect mammals to have evolved into whales over a period of 200 million years, yet alone the 10 million years in which it is claimed the process took place in?
