As a class, we read about two situations. One situation was about a young girl who had realized how ashamed and how negative the affect of her father’s failure was to her. Another situation was about a boy who grows up and eventually had to choose between leaving his family and studying just like all of his siblings or staying and helping the family.

These are important to prove evolution. Convergent evolution includes three very important parts: (a) common ancestry, (b) speciation, and (c) natural selection. Evidence of a continental drift involvesis marsupials spreading across oceans that did not yet exist, making their travel across vast bodies of land possible. A key examplenother supporter of the a species that experienced continental drift is the Glossopteris. This tree was only able to grow in warm climates and had a seed that could not float, yet fossils of this tree are found in different hemispheres of the world today.
