Biogeography provides several lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution. Here are the correct contributions: 1. **Confirmation of traditional classification based on anatomy**: Biogeographical patterns often align with anatomical classifications, supporting the idea that species with similar anatomical features share common ancestry. 2. **Correlation between changes in climate and fossil species**: Studying the geographical distribution of fossil species in relation to historical climate changes helps scientists understand how species have evolved and adapted over time. 3. **Identification of adaptive radiation on isolated islands**: Isolated environments, such as islands, often exhibit adaptive radiation, where a single ancestral species diversifies into multiple species adapted to different ecological niches. A classic example is the finches on the Galápagos Islands studied by Charles Darwin. **Incorrect Option:** - **Explanation of distribution based solely on habitat adaptations**: While habitat adaptations are important, explaining species distribution solely based on this factor does not encompass the broader biogeographical evidence related to evolutionary processes. **Selected Contributions:** - Confirmation of traditional classification based on anatomy - Correlation between changes in climate and fossil species - Identification of adaptive radiation on isolated islands
