ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Evidence for large-scale evolution (macroevolution) comes from anatomy and embryology, molecular biology, biogeography, and fossils. Similar anatomy found in different species may be homologous (shared due to ancestry) or analogous (shared due to similar selective pressures).

Detailed explanation-2: -Fossil records are both support and are supported by other evidence. Comparative anatomy compares the structures of organisms of both living species and fossils. Comparisons of anatomical features in different organisms often provide evidence to support the theory of evolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past. Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today.

Detailed explanation-4: -Similar anatomy across different species highlights their common origin and can be seen in homologous and vestigial structures. Embryology provides evidence for evolution since the embryonic forms of divergent groups are extremely similar.

Detailed explanation-5: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.
