Name two types of evidence scientists use to support the theory of evolution. *Hint* The human hand is very similar to a Dolphin's fin and snakes have hipbones.

Answer:

Hello! There are numerous things that support Darwin's theory of evolution, but the most credible ones include:

*Homologous structures - structures that are similar in structure but different in function (e.g. wing of a bat and arm of a human).

*Embryology - the study of embryos

*Continental drift - some fossils of organisms that were adapted to a different environment are often found in different climates/areas they don't seem to have been adapted to.

*DNA - similarities in the genomes of certain animals are often used to compare amino acid sequences and protein production.

I hope I helped!

There are a bunch more, but I decided to leave a select few for you to write about.

Feel free to leave a comment down below if you need more assistance. :)
