The fossil record provides evidence of changes in species over time, showing how species have evolved and adapted to their environments. By examining fossils of different organisms, scientists can see how certain traits have changed and evolved over millions of years. This supports the idea of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to future generations. Fossils provide a tangible record of these changes and help to confirm the process of natural selection as a means of evolution.
