-geographical separation leads to separate species
Comparative anatomy
-similarity due to common ancestry
Embryology
-pre-birth development suggests ancestry
Vestigial structures
-wouldn’t be their if ancestors did not need them
Biochemistry
-Shared basic biochemistry (DNA and genetic code)
-DNA sequences reveal relatedness of species
