The statement that best describes a limitation of using the fossil record and comparative anatomy to assemble evolutionary lineages is:
They cannot be used to determine when species evolved.
This is a limitation because while fossils can indicate that a species existed at a certain time, they do not provide precise timelines for evolutionary events or the exact timing of when species diverged from common ancestors.
