Name one piece of evidence to support the theory of evolution.

What is some of the evidence behind the theory of evolution?
Review the kinds of evidence for evolution analyzed in Sections $2.1-2.5 .$ List the sources of evidence that were available to Darwin and those that appeared later. For example, of the evidence for microevolution discussed in Section $2.1,$ Darwin knew, and wrote, about divergent strains of domestic plants and animals and about vestigial structures. However, in Darwin's day no one had ever directly observed change across generations in natural populations. For each section, indicate which evidence you consider strongest and which you consider weakest. Explain why.
