With the technology available to scientists today, there are many ways to support the Theory of Evolution with evidence. DNA similarities between species, knowledge of developmental biology, and other evidence for microevolution is abundant. However, scientists haven't always had the capabilities to examine these types of evidence. So how did they support evolutionary theory before these discoveries?

The main way scientists have supported the Theory of Evolution throughout history is by using anatomical similarities between organisms. Showing how body parts of one species resemble the body parts of another species, as well as accumulating adaptations until structures become more similar on unrelated species are some ways evolution is backed up by anatomical evidence. Of course, there is always finding traces of long-extinct organisms that can also give a good picture of how a species changed over time.

Answer:
Anatomical evidences are evidences of evolution.
Explanation:
1. Human hand, cat's forleg, flipper of whale and patagium of bat show diffrence in their features.
2. These organs also have different uses
3. However, the structure of bones and bony joints in organs of each of those animals show similarity.
4. This is an indication that all these animals originated from a common ancestor.
