Question

How do embryological studies provide evidence for evolution?

Answer 1

Evolution:

1. Evolution is a biological hypothesis that states that all species on earth, including plants and animals, share a common ancestor and that their differences today are the consequence of succeeding generations alterations. This hypothesis is supported by evidence from evolution.
2. According to evolution, the physical traits of distinct species are the result of genetic variation.

Embryonic development as the evidence for evolution:

Embryos of various species have differences and similarities in structures up to a certain period during gestation. Human, pig, reptile, and bird embryos have similar embryonic development but as they grow, they transform into their respective species. This demonstrates common ancestry.
