| Summary: | Presents physical evidence of structural homologies between many types of vertebrates, insects and plants and explains why these homologies suggest common ancestry. Traces the evolutionary record preserved in fossils to demonstrate the development of specialized structures from simpler forms and shows by means of homologous structures that what appears to be a new or different organ may actually be a variant or modification of something that existed in an ancestor. |
