Comparative morphology examines body structures to identify evolutionary relationships. Key concepts include:
Homologous organs – Similar structures with different functions (e.g., human hand and bat wing).
Analogous organs – Different structures with similar functions (e.g., insect wing and bird wing).
Vestigial organs – Reduced or non-functional structures that hint at evolutionary history (e.g., human appendix).

Welcome! I am Avinto, your expert in comparative anatomy. Did you know that your arm, a bat’s wing, and a whale’s flipper share the same bone structure? By studying homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures, scientists can trace evolutionary relationships. Let’s explore how these features reveal the common ancestry of organisms!
