"Homology" is one term used to describe these patterns, but scientists prefer other, more clearly defined terms. ... Despite using the word "homology" or "homologous" over 80 times, Explore Evolution never provides a clear and consistent definition of homology. Their use of the term confuses and obscures the actual ways...

As discussed below, similarity of developmental pathways is treated as a requirement of anatomical homology, but is not included in any definitions. None of these definitions match the actual way scientists define and use the term homology, let alone how scientists evaluate the anatomical evidence for common descent.

Anatomical homologies are morphological or physiological similarities between different species of plants or animals. Comparative anatomy, which is the study of anatomical homologies, is the source of most traditional evidence for evolution and common descent. ...

Key words: anatomical nomenclature; homology; Aves; Mam-malia; Archosauria; “To the intelligent reader of every class, who may be blessed with the healthy desire for the attainment of knowledge, let it then be said: Be not dismayed with the array of ‘hard words’ which seems to bar your path in its acquisition.

A well know example of anatomical homology linked to macroevolution is that given by Darwin above, e.g. "What can be more curious than that the hand of a man, formed for grasping, that of a mole for digging, the leg of the horse, the paddle of the porpoise, and the wing of the bat, should all be constructed on the...

The result is definite in the sense that it states a relationship (i.e., homology, monophyly). This relationship is part of a classification, not a genealogical or phylogenetic lineage.

Darwin devoted an entire book, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, largely to the idea that humans share common descent with apes and other animals … . Darwin built his case mostly on anatomical comparisons revealing homology between humans and apes.

… To summarize, biologists have made two discoveries that challenge the argument from anatomical homology. The first is that the development of homologous structures can be governed by different genes and can follow different developmental pathways.
