The best scientific evidence that supports the theory that Earth’s history includes mass extinctions is the presence and then absence of fossils in rock layers. This evidence indicates that certain species existed at one time and then disappeared from the fossil record, suggesting significant events (such as mass extinctions) that caused a reduction in biodiversity.
