These are the basis of evolution - they can be observed by anyone at any time.
1. Rudimentary organs
2. Rudimentary characters
3. The Bodily Structure of humans shares the same general structure as other
mammals
4. Humans can get diseases from other animals
5. Human embryonic development is not that much different that other higher
vertebrate.
6. Variability in humans.
7. Those with the best traits for adapting to their environment or more likely
to have offspring.
8. Comparison of basic mental traits with other animals, like the ability to
learn.

Further more most of the conversation on this list is about the strength or
lack of strength, of the evidence supporting evolution. I never read much
about any contrary evidence.
