In Chapters 1 and 2, he considers how patterns of variation in domesticated and wild fauna and flora support descent with modification. B. In Chapters 10-12, he shows how the patterns of species distributions in time and space support branching evolution from common ancestral lineages.
Evidence of common descent of living organisms has been discovered by scientists researching in a variety of disciplines over many decades, demonstrating that all life on Earth comes from a single ancestor. This forms an important part of the evidence on which evolutionary theory rests, demonstrates that evolution does occur, and illustrates the processes that created Earth's biodiversity. It supports the modern evolutionary synthesisâthe current scientific theory that explains how and why ...
