Yes it's true that the fossil record, revealed in geological layers of different ages, shows that life on Earth has become more complex over time.

It supports the darwin's theory of evolution that the life before was simple in comparison with now as it has evolved into more complex forms. By studying fossils, scientists believe that the organisims has changed as the life on earth has evolved.
