Comparative Anatomy as Evidence for Evolution

Evidence for evolution ranges from fossil records (paleontology) to the distribution of living organisms (biogeography). It also includes organisms’ development (embryology), structure (comparative anatomy), and macromolecule makeup, which includes nucleic acids and proteins (molecular biology). Let’s examine comparative anatomy more closely.
