The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. – Albert Einstein

Evidence of Evolution Jigsaw

With your focus group explore the links below to determine why your topic serves as evidence for evolution.

Group 1-Anatomists: Anatomists study the structure of organisms. Your group will research the aspects of anatomy that can serve as evidence for evolution.

Group 2 - Molecular Biologists: Molecular biologists study genetics. Your group will research how genetics can provide evidence for evolution.

Group 3 - Paleontologists: Paleontologists study fossils. Your group will research how fossils can provide evidence for evolution.

Within your focus groups, explore the links provided below (you may also investigate other websites). Take notes as you research and come up with 5 examples of evidence for evolution provided by your field. Be specific and ensure that you understand; you will be presenting this information to your home group tomorrow.
