- The document discusses evolution and natural selection over time, including Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. - Fossils provide evidence of evolution as they show how species have changed over millions of years, with relative and radioactive dating used to determine the age of fossils. The fossil record shows a history of life on Earth but is incomplete as not all organisms are fossilized. - Embryology and similarities in DNA and physical structures between species also provide evidence that species are related through common ancestors. Primates including humans share characteristics like opposable thumbs and binocular vision. Hominids evolved 4-6 million years ago and include early human ancestors like Homo
