Homology is simply known to be similar as a result of shared ancestry. The type of evidence for the theory of evolution is homologous structures.
- There are two types of homologous structures. They are phylogenetic/evolutionary between species and serial/iterative or homonomy that takes place within individuals.
A good example of homologous structures are the limbs of humans, cats, whales etc. These structures are due to divergent evolution.
