Species are interconnected through genealogy from "summary" of The Origin of Species (Deluxe Library Binding) (Annotated) by Charles Darwin
Throughout history, scientists have recognized patterns in the natural world that suggest a connection between different species. This idea of interconnectedness through genealogy is central to understanding the process of evolution. By studying the similarities and differences between organisms, we can trace their shared ancestry and see how they have evolved over time. In my observations of various species, I have noticed that they often share common traits that suggest a common ancestor. For example, the structure of the bones in the limbs of mammals, birds, and reptiles is remarkably similar, indicating a shared evolutionary history.
