The fossil record supports which of the following descriptions of the

evolution of life on Earth? *

Life first appeared with the diversity found today.

The importance of natural selection diminished over time.

Complex organisms evolved from more simple organisms

Large organisms appeared before single-celled organisms

Complex organisms evolved from more simple organisms

Explanation:

Fossil records support the fact that complex organisms evolved from more simple organisms.

Fossils are remains of organisms that have been naturally preserved in rock forms.

The study of fossilized remains of organisms has enabled scientists to establish the fact that earlier organisms are simple types and more complex organisms arose from them through a gradual process of change, otherwise known as evolution. Carbon dating of fossils enables scientists to establish the year the organism existed.
