Human, Eagle and Bat
…….it is valuable to understand how this is the culmination of a process of comparative biology that starts with the most evident feature of organisms -- like the common bone structures in mammalian forelimbs that Darwin cited -- and proceeds to ever more minute details., the striking affinities of anatomy and physiology point clearly to relationships, but the exact character of the relationships, the determination of just which organisms are closer kin, depends on the history of modifications of the genetic material. ~ Page 53

The Bodily structure of Man -- It is notorious that man is constructed on the same general type or model as other mammals. All the bones in his skeleton can be compared with corresponding bones in a monkey, bat, or seal. So it is with his muscles, nerves, blood-vessels and internal viscera. The brain, the most important of all the organs, follows the same law, as shown by Huxley and other anatomists.. . . Page 6 “The Descent of Man” ~ Author Charles Darwin
