These specimens provided evidence that species existing in the past were very similar to species living during Darwin's time. For example, the fossil of an extinct animal called the glyptodon resembles the modern armadillo, an animal found today in South America.
What evidence did Darwin have to support the theory of evolution?Darwin used multiple lines of evidence to support his theory of evolution by natural selection -- fossil evidence, biogeographical evidence, and anatomical evidence.
What did Darwin think about extinction?Darwin argued that all extinction is selective: species not able to compete with other species die out.
Which example is most similar to the evidence that Darwin used?Which example is most similar to the evidence that Darwin used to support his idea of natural selection? - When a deer population outgrows its food source, the population slowly dies off.
