"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

This blog has other posts about this evidence for evolution. This chart makes it easy to understand.
"The Human Genome Mapping Project confirmed that humans and chimps share identically damaged genes caused by ancient viruses that infected the genomes of our common ancestor and that we share even more identically damaged genes with our more distant cousins that are all nested in a hierarchy showing the correct order of speciation."
