Of course. Every living thing has a common ancestor. Humans and flies are both in the animalia kingdom.

What does the similarities between humans and dolphins cats and bats in indicate?
that they share a common ancestor
Why is DNA of cats and dogs more similar than DNA of cats and hamsters?
Cats and dogs have a common ancestor that is more recent than the common ancestor of cats and hamsters.
How much DNA do humans share with cats?
Humans and cats share about 90% of their DNA. The genetic similarities are evident in various aspects, such as the structure and function of certain genes controlling traits like metabolism and immune response.
What are male meerkats called?
Isn't a male meerkat called a dog since the meerkat shares a common ancestor with the domestic dogs and the wild cats? Dogs, cats, bears, hyenas and mongooses, including the meerkat share a common ancestor: the extinct miacis.
What percentage of DNA do humans share with an ant?
Cats and humans share similar X and Y chromosomes, in fact the two species shared a common ancestor about 90 million years ago and share 90% of (homologous) genes with humans
What is the common ancestor of the leopard and cheetah?
A bobcat is a specie of lynx, which is a member of the family Felidae or cat family.
What evidence indicates that two big cats share a common ancestor?
Virtually everything about them, from their morphology to their embryological development to their behaviour to their genomes.
Do mushrooms and cats all have DNA?
Yes, and they share a significant amount of identical DNA even though their common ancestor is back in the precambrian.
Are you humans part monkey?
No, humans are not "part monkey."lol: 'you humans'- somebody's cat is on wikianswers.No, we humans are not part monkey. I think you are referring to the theory of evolution which states that humans, apes and monkeys (as well as all life (including you cats)) have a common ancestor.
How can DNA be used to support the theory that all species share common ancestry?
Humans share around 99.9 percent of their DNA after all we all are humans and only a small amount is what makes you, you. Chimpanzees are 97% similar to humans. Cats have 90% of homologous genes with humans, 82% with dogs, 80% with cows, 69% with rats and 75% of mouse genes have equivalents in humans. And about 60% of chicken genes correspond to a similar human genes
What common ancestor do cats and chickens share?
They are both warm blooded animals, but one mammal, one bird, so it would a while back. Perhaps even almost as far back as the common ancestor of us all, some single celled amoeba wallowing in a warm, muddy swamp. Who knows, it will be somewhere along that line.
How big did saber-toothed tigers grow?
Saber tooth tigers did not evolve into big cats: big cats, i.e., lions, leopards, jaguars and tigers share a common ancestor with the small cats and cheetahs (and all other living cats), and, in turn, all living cats share a common ancestor with the saber tooth tigers from the Eocene.
