The document provides evidence from multiple lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution, including the fossil record, comparative anatomy, vestigial structures, convergent evolution, embryological development, and molecular comparisons. It discusses examples for each type of evidence and explains how they all point to life evolving over time from common ancestors.

27. Examples of Marsupials/Placentals: Back Marsupial and placental species may look the same on the outside and occupy similar niches in their environment, but all of the placental mammals are more closely related to each other than to any marsupial, and vice versa.

31. The monarch butterfly on the left is poisonous and will make a bird that eats it sick. The viceroy on the right is harmless, but the birds that have made the mistake of eating a monarch won’t touch it. Back
