How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has happened on Earth? Fossils show that some species have gone extinct. b. Fossils show how life forms present today are different than those from the past. Fossils show how the sizes of certain animals has changed drastically over millions of а. с. years. d. Different sedimentary rock layers provide evidence for how the environment has changed over time.
