Evidences for Morphology & Anatomy:
Comparative morphology and anatomy involve the detailed examination of the physical structures and body plans of organisms. Homologous structures, such as the pentadactyl limb found in vertebrates (including humans), suggest a common ancestry among these species. Vestigial structures, like the human appendix, are remnants of ancestral traits that no longer serve a purpose but provide evidence of evolution.
Analogous structures are similar structures found in distinct organisms, contrasting with homologous structures. The study of morphology and anatomy helps reveal the relationships between different species and their evolutionary history.
