What is the anatomical evidence of evolution?. How are fossils used as evidence of evolution?. What evolutionary evidence do we have from the field comparative embryology?. Which one?. There are 3 great universal questions. 1) Where did I come from?. 2) Why am I here?. 3) Where am I going?. The answer to the last 2 questions are dependent upon the answer to the first question. .
