Fossils and jeds are used to determine? Is the answer how species will change over time?

1 answer

No, fossils and genetics (not "jeds") are used to determine various things related to evolutionary biology, but not specifically how species will change over time. Fossils provide evidence of past life forms and help in understanding the history of Earth and the development of different species over long periods. They can help determine the age of rocks and the timing of evolutionary events. Genetics, on the other hand, is used to study the genetic similarities and differences between species, and how they are related through common ancestry. It can shed light on the evolutionary relationships between organisms and how characteristics are inherited and evolve over time.
