All evolutionary pathways show that life began with autotrophic organisms that soon evolved into heterotrophic organisms.

Two organisms on the same branch of an evolutionary pathway are more closely related to each other than to those on distant branches.

All the organisms shown at the ends of evolutionary pathway branch tips are alive today.

Evolutionary pathways show that evolution is a short-term process.

Evolution always results in favorable traits.

Evolution does not always result in a species that will survive to present time.

Evolution leads to less complex organisms.
