Humans and nonhuman primates share a suite of traits includi
Humans and nonhuman primates share a suite of traits, including grasping hands and binocular vision, so their last common ancestor must have also shared this suite of traits. These traits in humans and nonhuman primates is therefore an example of
a. recombination.
b. balancing selection.
c. homology.
d. analogy.
Solution
The similar traits between human and nonhuman primates is an example of homology. Homology is shared ancestory between structures or genes different taxa groups. Similarity is an evidence that they diverged from common ancester. These structures adapt to different functions for different purposes.
