Answer:
Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today. Paleontologists can determine the age of fossils using methods like radiometric dating and categorize them to determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms. Evidence such as how deep the fossils are and the location in relation to other fossils can help us understand what kind of prehistoric animals lived where and how long ago they lived and what other organism lived around them
