How does the fossil record corroborate phylogenetic history?
1 Answer
It shows homologous structures.
Explanation:
A homologous structure is a structure in organisms that shows that they used to be the same species a long time ago and have since diverged.
This can be seen in animals like humans and whales. Human hands and whale flippers have extremely similar bone structures. This leads scientists to believe that both species used to be one species.
