Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Darwin's observation of the distribution of species (in this case, the absence of rabbits in South America) is a prime example of biogeographical evidence, which involves studying the geographic distribution of organisms and their evolutionary relationships. Anatomical evidence involves analyzing the physical structures of organisms, biochemical evidence involves studying the molecular components of living things, and fossil evidence involves studying the remains of ancient organisms.
