• By being trapped in amber

What does the fossil record primarily demonstrate?

• The age of the Earth

• The extinction of dinosaurs

• The history of human civilization

• The evolution of life over time

Why is the fossil record considered key evidence for evolution?

• It shows the development of species over time.

• It contains the oldest rocks on Earth.
