Paleontological, anatomical, embriological, molecular and behavioural evidence support their common ancestry. - Living homeotherms are a poliphyletic group as birds and mammals evolved separately. Hope this ...

These traits can be morphollogical, embriological, molecular or even behavioural, etc. These similarities may reflect the sharing of a common ancestror , but they can have arised by convergent evolution too. In the first ...

This gives rise to genetic diversity in sexually reproducing populations, which provides the variation of physical and behavioural attributes (phenotypes) upon which natural selection acts, at a population level, leading to adaptation within the population, resulting ...
