Preserved remains of once-living organisms

The hypothesis that the same processes which work in microevolution can, over eons of time, transform an organism into a completely different kind of organism

The theory that natural selection can, over time, take an organism and transform it into a more specialized species of that organism

The study of similar structures (bones or organs, for example) in different species
