Question

Which statement can be supported by the fossil record? (HINT:to be supported by the fossil record, you need evidence)

1. Humans have lived on earth throughout geologic history
2. The organisms on Earth have not changed
3. All plants and animals on earth today have always existed
4.Dinosaurs existed on Earth for more than 544 million years.

Answer 1

None of the above. Modern humans have only been around for 200 - 300,000 years. Organisms have been evolving for as long as there’s been life on the Earth (contradicts 2 & 3). Dinosaurs were around for only for about 165 million years.
