I don’t know why you asked the same exact question 3 times. I gave a full description in another post. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;… … But on the assumption that this is some school question or project, I’ll try and compress all the evidence into just four main categories: 1. Evolution reproduced in the lab or documented in nature, including the basic mechanisms of natural selection established in artificial selection (like breeding). 2. Fossil evidence. 3. Genetic and molecular (DNA) evidence. 4. Common morphology and proteins (vestigial, homologous, and atavistic structures and proteins). 5. Others (OK, that’s 5 … but I needed a place to include things like bacteriology, virology, imunology, embryology, biogeography). Again, these are just the names of the *categories* of evidence … for details, see my other post.
