How do analogous structures support evolution?
Analogous structures support evolution by demonstrating how different species can evolve similar traits independently, often as adaptations to similar environments or challenges. This convergence indicates that while the species may not share a recent common ancestor, they have developed comparable solutions to similar problems due to natural selection. For instance, the wings of birds and insects serve the same function but evolved separately, highlighting the adaptability and diversity of life in response to environmental pressures.
