Technology and Gathering Evidence in Support of Evolution

Throughout the book, we see Coyne's assertion of why evolution is true backed up by multiple sources of evidence (ex: vestiges, fossils, coevolution, experiments, etc.). However, it may be advantageous to discuss the technology that has helped gather the evidence used to support evolution.

Explain how one of the pieces of evidence that Coyne uses could be found through utilization of modern technology or scientific techniques (e.g. PCR). Be sure to compare older methods to these more current techniques and how modern techniques aid scientists in gathering more or better data. Note that modern technology does not need to be strictly scientific equipment, but can also include any piece of technology that is used in the modern world that was not available during the age of Darwin.
