What is the greatest proof of evolution?

The first proof of evolution was when humans learnt to selectively breed plants and animals for certain desired characteristics. Ironically enough it was the priest Gregor Mendel who conclusively demonstrated genetic inheritance and showed that plants and animals were not limited to one form, but that they could change over time.

Very good answer :D

And yes, the irony is a wonderful one :)

is that a 'war of the worlds' related question?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Nope... LOL :P

homo sapiens.

Naah, Viruses are much more evolved... So are cockroaches... :P

I was born a toad. It's taken me 54 years, but I've finally evolved into a toad that walks on its hind legs:)

Yu are much more than a mere toad, my friend :D

MERE TOAD you say?!?!?! Why I'll have you know in addition to being King of all Dementia, I am also the All Powerful Toad of Toads, the Towering, Terrifying Toad Tycoon, or simply... Top Toad to you:)

And here I was, thinking of you as a brother and king of kings among men...

Top Toad it is ;)

I am many things my friend. Some are better than others:)

May i say that this is possibly the best comment i've ever read? ^_^

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Me.

:D

True :)

You seem very set on "viruses" being the answer. :P But that's just 'cause they're very highly adaptable to hostile conditions (i.e., immune systems). And i think that's really the greatest proof of evolution: Adaptability.

The more an organism can adapt to its environment as it changes, the more chance it has to live. Natural selection at work! :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Adaptability, survival of the fittest, and random genetic mutation... that's all evolution really is :)

i always went with the webbing between fingers and toes. as land-based, non-amphibious creatures, it's completely extraneous on humans, and yet, there it is.

that we havent changed a bit. we're all still monkey's in our heads no matter how much we deny it XD

The greatest proof of evolution is dogs. In the course of human history we have, through selective breeding, changed the shape of breeds of dogs to suit our purposes. Evolution not only exists but apparently we can fuck with it ;]

Brilliant answer!
