This apparently refers to the fossil evidence for evolution (see [[radiometric dating|carbon dating]]). But creationists also reject the idea that new species can evolve from older ones, such as humans evolving from ancient hominids. But the context of the quote implies that the teacher was actually talking about the notion that "new species can evolve from older ones -- such as humans evolving from ancient apes."
