There is lots of evidence for a common ancestor but I suggest you look at wikipedia's evidence for common descent or Talk origins 29 evidence for evolution.
There has been no evidence of such an ancestor.
There is no evidence. Evolution is a theory, not a fact.
Mollusks and segmented worms have a one-way digestive system, a separate mouth and anus, and their larvae are very similar. This is the best evidence that they have a common ancestor.
There is some debate about what other groups the nematodes, or roundworms, are most closely related to, and therefore from what group they descended. Nematodes are classified as being in the clade Ecdysozoa which also includes arthropods. If nematodes are truly closely related to arthropods then they share a common ancestor.
We all current life has a single common ancestor.
Scientists found that both segmented worms and arthropods have a hollow space in their bodies to hold their organs. They both also have larvae stages early on in their life cycle.
Many protista contain chloroplasts.
Physiological similarities suggest the species evolved from the same ancestor.
Evidence that tells that, through the structures of two organisms, can be compared that we have a common ancestor and have evolved from them.
descended from a common ancestor
Homologous structures indicate a common ancestor
