The observation that a species of toad living in an area is similar in form to toad fossils found in very old rock supports the hypothesis that toads living near the area have evolved slowly over time. This suggests that there has been continuity in the form of the species, indicating a gradual evolutionary process rather than a rapid change or migration from another region.

Toads living near the area have evolved slowly over time.
Toads evolved rapidly, because there are many variations in form.
This species of toad burrowed into the rock and became fossilized.
The toads living today migrated to the area from a different region.
