The statement that indicates what the fossil record suggests about evolution on Earth is:
**Humans have only recently existed on Earth.**
This aligns with the fossil record, which shows that humans are relatively recent arrivals in the timeline of Earth's history compared to the existence of other life forms. The other statements are not supported by the fossil record: organisms did not originally live only on land, life on Earth began in water, and complex single-celled life evolved before multicellular life.
