Why Evolution Is True; entry 2

Another interesting factor I found was within the writing, and the quality and quantity of evidence which he presented within 245 pages of a book.
He had managed to cover fossil records indicating past species and the historic links between them and even older prehistoric species. The location of an original species' population and how if parts of it were isolated, different factors based on location would cause the isolated lifeforms to change visibly from each other in the fossil records over time.
He also managed to cover embryology and that as a life form progresses through its embryonic state, it can shares an extremely similar appearance with other species' embryonic states, indicating an original common body plan that is only altered into the final species at and nearing the end of development.
He even managed to put in vestigial structures and suboptimal design. Where vestigial organs are unrequired organs within the bodies of a species that could have only been used by a previous or different species. He tied this in within suboptimal design, where he shows that most species if designed by an intelligent creator could be designed for their purpose in a much superior fashion then they currently are. The prime example he used for this was the human spine and how it is not designed for how we sit, or optimal for standing upright.
It amazed me that he managed to get the major supporting points for evolution (as seen here) with large amounts of evidence for each within 245 pages, and how easily he managed to do so.
