Overview

Homologous structures are similar body parts in different species that indicate a shared ancestor. These structures may serve different functions, like a human hand and a bat's wing, but their similarity points to evolutionary connections.

Vertebrate Forelimbs

Homologous organs have different functions but similar structures (construction form and number of bones). They are inherited from a common evolutionary ancestor and represent divergent evolution.
