• Let us consider the example of humans and apes.Both of them have similar body design. Both have body hair and mammary glands. Hence, these two animals are closely related in evolutionary terms. Now, let us take some common characters between a fish and a man. Vertebral column, brain box and jaws are present in both of them. But fish and man look entirely different from each other. Hence, they are not very closely related in evolutionary term; rather they are like distant relatives.
