Homology is a term that defines how two things in question share a common lineage or ancestry in different taxonomic categories. To better understand, here are some examples:

We have homology with other mammals (dogs and bats, for instance) in that we have bone structures that evolved from the same lineage and then developed a little more after the evolutionary split to become the species-specific versions that we see now. This picture illustrates this well:


The same starting point (the common ancestor of the various species) led to a basic structure which then differentiated to suit the needs of the individual species. This is an example of divergent evolution (the structures diverged from the starting point of the common ancestor).

There are many different examples of homology, such as sequence homology (similarity of genetic sequences that imply shared ancestry) or developmental homology (human male/female sex organs develop from the same embryonic tissue). This answer is constrained to biological definitions—there are a number of other disciplines that use the term homology as well.
