===Evidence for Evolution===
There are a number of independent lines of [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]] for [[Evolution by Natural Selection]]:
*Comparative Anatomy - Many [[species]] have similar features suggesting they '''evolved''' from the same ancestor. This was the case with [[Charles Darwin|Darwin's]] finches. They all had similar features with some slight modifications.
*Fossil Records - [[Fossil]]s of ancient creatures shows how their features gradually changed over millions of years. [[Fossil]]s of [[extinct]] creatures show similar features to some current living creatures. This is the case of [[dinosaur]] [[fossil]]s and modern [[bird]]s.
*[[DNA]] - The [[DNA]] of different [[species]] shows how they are related to one another and can be used to trace the features of a common ancestor. This is the case for [[human]]s and other [[Great Ape|great apes]].
