Paleoanthropologist Ashley Hammond takes a closer look at our nearest relatives to learn about the evolution of humans.

Three types of evidence support evolution and natural selection: structural, microbiological, and direct observation. Structural evidence encompasses homologous structures and the fossil …

First, we'll look at several types of evidence (including physical and molecular features, geographical information, and fossils) that provide evidence for, and can allow us to …

Learn about the theory of evolution and how it is supported by instances of direct observation, the existence of homologies and fossils, and certain biogeographical patterns.

However, you don't need a microscope or a fossil to find evidence for evolution. You can find it by looking at the anatomical or physical features of organisms alive today.

The following table provides information about the presence of certain traits in theropods and modern birds. The presence of a trait is indicated by a checkmark. ... Each answer choice …

Scientists who study evolution may want to know whether two present-day species are closely related. Evidence for evolution can be structural, genetic, or biogeographical.

So even though you don't have a tail, as far as I know, studying homologous features in embryos, shows scientists that humans are related to many tail-using creatures because of evolution.

Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.
