By comparing the embryos of different organisms, scientists can see similarities in developmental patterns and structures, providing evidence for a shared evolutionary history. This supports the theory of evolution by showing that all living organisms share a common ancestry and have evolved from a common ancestor over time. The presence of homologous structures and developmental pathways in embryos of different species further supports the idea of descent with modification and the gradual changes that have occurred over generations. This comparative study of embryos helps to trace the evolutionary relationships between different species and provides insights into the mechanisms of evolution.
