Answer:
The study of comparative anatomy predates the modern study of evolution.
The study of comparative anatomy predates the modern study of evolution. Organisms with similar structures must have acquired these traits from a common ancestor. It can serve as the first line of reasoning in determining the relatedness of species. It's important examples are :
