Answer 1

12. Observed changes over time are called evolution. As evolution is supported by scientific facts and theories it can`t be just labelled as a theory as it has a lot of evidence in its support. The facts of evolution come from observational evidence of current processes, from imperfections in organisms recording historical common descent, and from transitions in the fossil record.

14. "The reason other primates like apes aren't evolving into humans is that they're doing just fine. Evolution is about how well organisms fit into their current environments." In the eyes of scientists who study evolution, humans aren't "more evolved" than other primates, and we certainly haven't won the so-called evolutionary game.Our ancestors' divergence from ancestral chimps is a good example. We are doing well and they are alos doing well.
