COMPARATIVE EMBRYOLOGY: THE VERTEBRATE BODY; Even before Darwin proposed the theory of evolution through natural selection, Ernst von Baer claimed that the more closely related any two species are, the more similar their development.

All vertebrate embryos follow a common developmental path due to their common ancestry. All have a set of very similar genes (the homeobox genes) that define their basic body plan. As they grow, ... The study of this development can yield insights into the process of evolution. ... Credits: The Human Evolution Coloring Book,

A common source of evidence used to support evolutionary theory is comparative embryology. In this activity, students control the breeding of Japanese Medaka fish, collect the fertilized eggs, and daily view their embryological development.
