Evolution: Comparative Embryology.

So you know by now that when a Mummy and a Daddy love each other very much, they have sex. Well, I’d hope you do by now anyway. And as you (again, hopefully) know, having sex can create a baby. And a baby starts out life as just a few small cells and then grows from there. By the end of about 8 weeks in humans, the child has basic limb shapes and is well on their way to being an incredible annoyance to everyone in the family.

What scientists have observed in a multitude of different animals is that during the early stages of development in the womb, many organisms develop in the same manner before becoming differentiated (fancy word for different).

Again, this points towards the suggestion of a common ancestor.

The next (and final) card in our complex house of cards is: A Surprise! You’ll have to wait and see.
