Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. Similar body parts may be homologous structures or analogous structures. Both provide evidence for evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils. Fossils document the existence of now-extinct past species that are related to present-day species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Another type of evidence for evolution is the presence of structures in organisms that share the same basic form. For example, the bones in the appendages of a human, dog, bird, and whale all share the same overall construction (Figure 2) resulting from their origin in the appendages of a common ancestor.
