There is abundant evidence that evolution occurs-that some species change over time, that other species diverge and become one or more new species, and that still other species become extinct. Darwin's theory was that evolution progresses through natural selection. The synthetic theory of evolution combines natural selection with the influence of genetics. These theories, together with the evidence for evolution from population genetics, molecular biology, and comparative anatomy and embryology, propose mechanisms responsible for the …

…in fish, chicken, pig, and human embryos. For evolutionists to find out how evolution occurs, they propose theories. Lamarck theorized, incorrectly, that evolution occurs through the inheritance of acquired characteristics. However, they found evidence for evolution that from population genetics, molecular biology, and comparative anatomy and embryology, Darwin's theory which states that evolution progresses through natural selection and the synthetic theory of evolution that combines natural selection with the influence of genetics may be supported.
