Final answer:

Fossil evidence, molecular evidence, and anatomy and embryology provide evidence of evolution in the 1860s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The types of evidence available in the 1860s to indicate that evolution had occurred on Earth include:

  1. Fossil Evidence: Fossils provide a record of past organisms and show how they have changed over time.
  2. Molecular Evidence: The study of molecules and DNA confirms conclusions about evolution and can be used to determine how closely species are related.
  3. Anatomy and Embryology: Similar structures in different organisms, known as homologous structures, indicate a common ancestor.

These types of evidence were used by Charles Darwin in his book On the Origin of Species to support his theory of evolution by natural selection.
