Study of similarities and differences of different species
Comparative Anatomy
Body part is similar
Homologous structure
The body part has the same function

Study of gene structure
Molecular Biology
All organism develop
Evolution
There was a special and independent creator of all species
Creationism
Believe in the constancy of all species
Creationist

Charles Darwin
Published zoological philosophy
Jean Baptiste lamarck
It is also known as The theory of transformation
Lamarckism
This theory states that all modern organisms are ascended from a single ancestors.
Theory of common descent
Reduce form of a functional structure
Vestigial structure
comparison of structures that
appear during the development
stages of different organisms.
Comparative Embryology
predicts
that species with common ancestry tend to
show a similarity in the amino acid
sequences.
Comparative Biochemistry
Darwin’s
discovery about the distribution of birds
in mainland
Geographic Distribution
describes the distribution
of organisms
Biogeography
