Question
In 1822, an Arkansas farmer discovered a fossil when a hill collapsed on his property. The farmer sent the bones to the Philadelphia society to be reviewed by scientists where it was determined that the bones were from a whale. Through research, the scientists discovered whales have a vestigial structure that includes a pelvic girdle and hind limbs. Which evidence best supports the theory that organisms, such as whales, have common ancestry and have evolved? Select all that apply. O Ostriches and emus are flightless birds. Ancient cave paintings depict humans and bulls thousands of years ago. More than 96% of human DNA is identical to chimpanzee DNA. In the early stages of embryonic development, humans, rabbits, fish, and salamanders look very similar. O Scientists discovered eight genetic variants in four regions of the human genome that influence skin color ranging from very light to very dark.
