How do we Know Evolution Happens? What can we learn from fossil evidence? What specific fossil evidence points to the whale's evolution from land to water? https://mpt.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/tdc02.sci.life.evo.howhappens/evolving-ideas-how-do-we-know-evolution-happens/#.WcEOnMiGO1s
Homologous structures Body parts that are similar in position, structure and EVOLUTIONARY origin, but not function. Like the tetrapod limbs we look at yesterday.
Analogous Body parts that are similar in function, but NOT position, structure and EVOLUTIONARY origin
Bones shown in the same color are homologous The supports for the insect wings are not homologous with the bones of the bat or the bird wings.
