Evidence of evolution
Understandings:
Evolution occurs when heritable characteristics of a species change.
• The fossil record provides evidence for evolution.
• Populations of a species can gradually diverge into separate species by evolution.
• Continuous variation across the geographical range of related populations matches the concept of gradual divergence.
