从对化石记录的仔细研究中已经推断出了大量关于进化事件和过程的信息。其他形式的证据也极大地促进了对进化的理解。比较生物化学（Florkin，1949）、免疫学（Boyden，1942）、蛋白质测序（Dayoff，1969; Anfinsen，1959）和早期DNA研究（McCarthy &博尔顿，1963; Schildkraut，Marmur & Doty，1961）在很大程度上证实了早期的进化发现，同时提供了对进化中分子过程的新理解。在这些方法中，DNA的比较似乎最有希望，因为可以对不同物种的所有遗传物质进行相对精确的定量比较。
A great deal of information about evolutionary events and processes has been inferred from careful studies of fossil records. Other forms of evidence have also contributed greatly to the understanding of evolution. Comparative biochemistry (Florkin, 1949), immunology (Boyden, 1942), protein sequencing (Dayoff, 1969; Anfinsen, 1959), and early DNA studies (McCarthy & Bolton, 1963; Schildkraut, Marmur & Doty, 1961) have for the most part corroborated earlier evolutionary findings, and at the same time provided new understanding of molecular processes in evolution. Of these approaches the comparison of DNA seems most promising since a relatively precise quantitative comparison can be made of all of the genetic material of different species.
