Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fossil record contains numerous examples of transitional species that demonstrate the evolution of major new groups of organisms from previously existing ones. It does not prove that all known species appeared at the same time or that humans date back to the origins of life. Additionally, the fossil record is a natural occurrence and not artificially created by scientists.
