has been discovered by scientists researching in a variety of disciplines over many decades, demonstrating that <a href="/wiki/Common_descent" title="Common descent">all life on Earth comes from a single ancestor</a>. This forms an important part of the <a href="/wiki/Scientific_evidence" title="Scientific evidence">evidence</a> on which evolutionary theory rests, demonstrates that <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolution</a> does occur, and illustrates the processes that created Earth's <a href="/wiki/Biodiversity" title="Biodiversity">biodiversity</a>. It supports the <a href="/wiki/Neo-Darwinism" title="Neo-Darwinism">modern evolutionary synthesis</a>—the current <a href="/wiki/Scientific_theory" title="Scientific theory">scientific theory</a> that explains how and why life changes over time. Evolutionary biologists document evidence of common descent, all the way back to the <a href="/wiki/Last_universal_common_ancestor" title="Last universal common ancestor">last universal common ancestor</a>, by developing testable predictions, testing hypotheses, and constructing theories that illustrate and describe its causes. </p><p>Comparison of the <a href="/wiki/Nucleic_acid_sequence" title="Nucleic acid sequence">DNA genetic sequences</a> of organisms has revealed that organisms that are <a href="/wiki/Phylogenetics" title="Phylogenetics">phylogenetically</a> close have a higher degree of DNA sequence similarity than organisms that are phylogenetically distant. Genetic fragments such as <a href="/wiki/Pseudogene" title="Pseudogene">pseudogenes</a>, regions of <a href="/wiki/DNA" title="DNA">DNA</a> that are <a href="/wiki/Homology_(biology)#Orthology" title="Homology (biology)">orthologous</a> to a gene in a related <a href="/wiki/Organism" title="Organism">organism</a>, but are no longer active and appear to be undergoing a steady process of degeneration from cumulative mutations support common descent alongside the universal biochemical organization and molecular variance patterns found in all organisms. Additional genetic information conclusively supports the relatedness of life and has allowed scientists (since the discovery of DNA) to develop phylogenetic trees: a construction of organisms' evolutionary relatedness. It has also led to the development of <a href="/wiki/Molecular_clock" title="Molecular clock">molecular clock</a> techniques to date taxon divergence times and to calibrate these with the fossil record. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Fossils" class="mw-redirect" title="Fossils">Fossils</a> are important for estimating when various lineages developed in <a href="/wiki/Geologic_time" class="mw-redirect" title="Geologic time">geologic time</a>. As fossilization is an uncommon occurrence, usually requiring hard body parts and death near a site where <a href="/wiki/Sediment" title="Sediment">sediments</a> are being deposited, the fossil record only provides sparse and intermittent information about the evolution of life. Evidence of organisms prior to the development of hard body parts such as shells, bones and teeth is especially scarce, but exists in the form of ancient <a href="/wiki/Microfossil" title="Microfossil">microfossils</a>, as well as impressions of various soft-bodied organisms. The comparative study of the <a href="/wiki/Anatomy" title="Anatomy">anatomy</a> of groups of animals shows structural features that are fundamentally similar (homologous), demonstrating phylogenetic and ancestral relationships with other organisms, most especially when compared with fossils of ancient <a href="/wiki/Extinction" title="Extinction">extinct</a> organisms. <a href="/wiki/Vestigiality" title="Vestigiality">Vestigial structures</a> and comparisons in <a href="/wiki/Embryogenesis" class="mw-redirect" title="Embryogenesis">embryonic development</a> are largely a contributing factor in anatomical resemblance in concordance with common descent. Since <a href="/wiki/Metabolism" title="Metabolism">metabolic</a> processes do not leave fossils, research into the evolution of the basic cellular processes is done largely by comparison of existing organisms' <a href="/wiki/Physiology" title="Physiology">physiology</a> and <a href="/wiki/Biochemistry" title="Biochemistry">biochemistry</a>. Many lineages diverged at different stages of development, so it is possible to determine when certain metabolic processes appeared by comparing the traits of the descendants of a common ancestor. </p><p>Evidence from <a href="/wiki/Animal_coloration" title="Animal coloration">animal coloration</a> was gathered by some of Darwin's contemporaries; <a href="/wiki/Camouflage" title="Camouflage">camouflage</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mimicry" title="Mimicry">mimicry</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Aposematism" title="Aposematism">warning coloration</a> are all readily explained by <a href="/wiki/Natural_selection" title="Natural selection">natural selection</a>. Special cases like the seasonal changes in the plumage of the <a href="/wiki/Rock_ptarmigan" title="Rock ptarmigan">ptarmigan</a>, camouflaging it <a href="/wiki/Snow_camouflage" title="Snow camouflage">against snow</a> in winter and <a href="/wiki/Disruptive_coloration" title="Disruptive coloration">against brown moorland</a> in summer provide compelling evidence that selection is at work. Further evidence comes from the field of <a href="/wiki/Biogeography" title="Biogeography">biogeography</a> because evolution with common descent provides the best and most thorough explanation for a variety of facts concerning the geographical distribution of plants and animals across the world. This is especially obvious in the field of <a href="/wiki/Insular_biogeography" title="Insular biogeography">insular biogeography</a>. Combined with the well-established geological theory of <a href="/wiki/Plate_tectonics" title="Plate tectonics">plate tectonics</a>, common descent provides a way to combine facts about the current distribution of species with evidence from the fossil record to provide a logically consistent explanation of how the distribution of living organisms has changed over time. </p><p>The development and spread of <a href="/wiki/Antibiotic_resistance" class="mw-redirect" title="Antibiotic resistance">antibiotic resistant</a> bacteria provides evidence that evolution due to natural selection is an ongoing process in the natural world. Natural selection is ubiquitous in all research pertaining to evolution, taking note of the fact that all of the following examples in each section of the article document the process. Alongside this are observed instances of the separation of populations of species into sets of new species (<a href="/wiki/Speciation" title="Speciation">speciation</a>). Speciation has been <a href="/wiki/Laboratory_experiments_of_speciation" title="Laboratory experiments of speciation">observed in the lab</a> and in nature. Multiple forms of such have been described and documented as examples for individual modes of speciation. Furthermore, evidence of common descent extends from direct laboratory experimentation with the <a href="/wiki/Selective_breeding" title="Selective breeding">selective breeding</a> of organisms—historically and currently—and other controlled experiments involving many of the topics in the article. This article summarizes the varying disciplines that provide the evidence for evolution and the common descent of all life on Earth, accompanied by numerous and specialized examples, indicating a compelling <a href="/wiki/Consilience" title="Consilience">consilience of evidence</a>. </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886046785">.mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-4 .toclevel-3 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-5 .toclevel-4 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-6 .toclevel-5 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-7 .toclevel-6 ul{display:none}</style><div class="toclimit-3"><meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Evidence_from_comparative_physiology_and_biochemistry">Evidence from comparative physiology and biochemistry</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Evidence_of_common_descent&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Evidence from comparative physiology and biochemistry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Archaeogenetics" title="Archaeogenetics">Archaeogenetics</a>, <a href="/wiki/Common_descent" title="Common descent">Common descent</a>, <a href="/wiki/Last_universal_ancestor" class="mw-redirect" title="Last universal ancestor">Last universal ancestor</a>, <a href="/wiki/Most_recent_common_ancestor" title="Most recent common ancestor">Most recent common ancestor</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Genetic_code#Origin" title="Genetic code">Genetic code §&#160;Origin</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Genetics">Genetics</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Evidence_of_common_descent&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Genetics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>One of the strongest evidences for common descent comes from gene sequences. <a href="/wiki/Sequence_alignment" title="Sequence alignment">Comparative sequence analysis</a> examines the relationship between the DNA sequences of different species,<sup id="cite_ref-mount_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mount-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> producing several lines of evidence that confirm Darwin's original hypothesis of common descent.

Those organs are typically functional in the ancestral species but are now either semi-functional, nonfunctional, or re-purposed. </p><p>Scientific literature concerning vestigial structures abounds. One study compiled 64 examples of vestigial structures found in the literature across a wide range of disciplines within the 21st century.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a

Throughout the tetrapods, the fundamental structures of pentadactyl limbs are the same, indicating that they originated from a common ancestor. But in the course of evolution, these fundamental structures have been modified. They have become superficially different and unrelated structures to serve different functions in adaptation to different environments and modes of life. This phenomenon is shown in the forelimbs of mammals. For example: </p> <ul><li>In <a href="/wiki/Monkey" title="Monkey">monkeys</a>, the forelimbs are much elongated, forming a grasping hand used for climbing and swinging among trees.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pig" title="Pig">Pigs</a> have lost their first digit, while the second and fifth digits are reduced. The remaining two digits are longer and stouter than the rest and bear a hoof for supporting the body.</li> <li>In horses, the forelimbs are highly adapted for strength and support. Fast and long-distance running is possible due to the extensive elongation of the third digit that bears a hoof.</li> <li>The <a href="/wiki/Mole_(animal)" title="Mole (animal)">mole</a> has a pair of short, spade-like forelimbs for <a href="/wiki/Burrowing" class="mw-redirect" title="Burrowing">burrowing</a>.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anteater" title="Anteater">Anteaters</a> use their enlarged third digit for tearing into <a href="/wiki/Ant" title="Ant">ant</a> and <a href="/wiki/Termite" title="Termite">termite</a> nests.</li> <li>In cetaceans, the forelimbs become <a href="/wiki/Flipper_(anatomy)" title="Flipper (anatomy)">flippers</a> for steering and maintaining equilibrium during swimming.</li> <li>In <a href="/wiki/Bat" title="Bat">bats</a>, the forelimbs have become highly modified and evolved into functioning <a href="/wiki/Wing" title="Wing">wings</a>.

The major trends seen in the development of the horse to changing environmental conditions may be summarized as follows: </p> <ul><li>Increase in size (from 0.4&#160;m to 1.5&#160;m&#160;— from 15&#160;in to 60&#160;in);</li> <li>Lengthening of limbs and feet;</li> <li>Reduction of lateral digits;</li> <li>Increase in length and thickness of the third digit;</li> <li>Increase in width of <a href="/wiki/Incisor" title="Incisor">incisors</a>;</li> <li>Replacement of <a href="/wiki/Premolar" title="Premolar">premolars</a> by <a href="/wiki/Molar_(tooth)" title="Molar (tooth)">molars</a>; and</li> <li>Increases in tooth length, crown height of molars.</li></ul> <p>Fossilized plants found in different strata show that the marshy, wooded country in which <i>Hyracotherium</i> lived became gradually drier. Survival now depended on the head being in an elevated position for gaining a good view of the surrounding countryside, and on a high turn of speed for escape from <a href="/wiki/Predation" title="Predation">predators</a>, hence the increase in size and the replacement of the splayed-out foot by the hoofed foot.

For purposes of <a href="/wiki/Biogeography" title="Biogeography">biogeography</a>, islands are divided into two classes. Continental islands are islands like <a href="/wiki/Great_Britain" title="Great Britain">Great Britain</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a> that have at one time or another been part of a continent. Oceanic islands, like the <a href="/wiki/Hawaiian_islands" class="mw-redirect" title="Hawaiian islands">Hawaiian islands</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Gal%C3%A1pagos_Islands" title="Galápagos Islands">Galápagos Islands</a> and <a href="/wiki/St._Helena" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Helena">St. Helena</a>, on the other hand are islands that have formed in the ocean and never been part of any continent. Oceanic islands have distributions of native plants and animals that are unbalanced in ways that make them distinct from the <a href="/wiki/Biota_(ecology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Biota (ecology)">biotas</a> found on continents or continental islands. Oceanic islands do not have native terrestrial mammals (they do sometimes have bats and seals), amphibians, or fresh water fish. In some cases they have terrestrial reptiles (such as the iguanas and giant tortoises of the Galápagos Islands) but often (such as in Hawaii) they do not. This is despite the fact that when species such as rats, goats, pigs, cats, mice, and <a href="/wiki/Cane_toad" title="Cane toad">cane toads</a>, are introduced to such islands by humans they often thrive. Starting with <a href="/wiki/Charles_Darwin" title="Charles Darwin">Charles Darwin</a>, many scientists have conducted experiments and made observations that have shown that the types of animals and plants found, and not found, on such islands are consistent with the theory that these islands were colonized accidentally by plants and animals that were able to reach them. Such accidental colonization could occur by air, such as plant seeds carried by migratory birds, or bats and insects being blown out over the sea by the wind, or by floating from a continent or other island by sea (for example, by some kinds of plant seeds like coconuts that can survive immersion in salt water), and reptiles that can survive for extended periods on rafts of vegetation carried to sea by storms.<sup id="cite_ref-Coyne99-110_140-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Coyne99-110-140"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>140<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Endemism">Endemism</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Evidence_of_common_descent&amp;action=edit&amp;section=37" title="Edit section: Endemism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Many of the species found on remote islands are <a href="/wiki/Endemic" class="mw-redirect" title="Endemic">endemic</a> to a particular island or group of islands, meaning they are found nowhere else on earth.

Each pond contained gravel to exactly match that of the natural ponds. After capturing a random sample of guppies from ponds in Trinidad, he raised and mixed them to create similar genetically diverse populations and measured each fish (spot length, spot height, spot area, relative spot length, relative spot height, total patch area, and standard body lengths). For the experiment he added <i><a href="/wiki/Crenicichla" title="Crenicichla">Crenicichla</a> alta</i> (<i>P. reticulata'</i>s main predator) in four of the ponds, <i><a href="/wiki/Rivulus" title="Rivulus">Rivulus</a> hartii</i> (a non-predator fish) in four of the ponds, and left the remaining two ponds empty with only the guppies. After 10 generations, comparisons were made between each pond's guppy populations and measurements were taken again. Endler found that the populations had evolved dramatically different color patterns in the control and non-predator pools and drab color patterns in the predator pool. Predation pressure had caused a selection against standing out from background gravel.<sup id="cite_ref-Endler_-_P._reticulata_184-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Endler_-_P._reticulata-184"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>184<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg/225px-Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg" decoding="async" width="225" height="125" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg/338px-Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg/450px-Guppy_CS_pair_4_20130113.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2719" data-file-height="1506" /></a><figcaption><b>Figure 5b</b>: Endler's Trinidadian guppies (<i><a href="/wiki/Poecilia_reticulata" class="mw-redirect" title="Poecilia reticulata">Poecilia reticulata</a></i>)</figcaption></figure> <p>In parallel, during this experiment, Endler conducted a field experiment in Trinidad where he caught guppies from ponds where they had predators and relocated them to ponds upstream where the predators did not live.
