How does anatomy explain evolution?
It doesn't. Evolution is explained by population genetics, evolutionary theory.
How does anatomy help us understand evolution?
Slight anatomical changes over significant amounts of time resulting in new species and adaptations is precisely what evolution is. Having a knowledge of certain anatomies allows for comparison. Take orangutan anatomy for example. It is extremely similar to human anatomy, but there are certain differences that tell us that humans are not descendants from orangutans. Also, the fossil record on which evolution evidence is so well based, relies largely on classifying anatomical characteristics.
How does comparative anatomy not support evolution?
The comparisons between the anatomies of various organisms show common ancestry which supports evolution.
How is anatomy used as evidence for evolution?
Anatomy is a useful tool in gaining evidence for evolution. The most useful thing is to examine homologous structures, ie anatomical similarities between different species. The best example of this is the pentadactyl limb. It is found in humans, dolphins and bats. This shows that at some point in the past there must have been a common ancestor from which these 3 diverse groups of animals evolved.

Why is evolution important for understanding human anatomy and physiology?
Its not, but you can sure find out a lot about monkeys
Why is the giraffe an example of evolution?
All life is an example of evolution. It is the slow change of a species.

What is a world example of evolution?
The development of resistance to antibiotics by bacteria is a real world example of evolution.
Example of macroecolution?
An example of macro-evolution is the appearance of feathers during the evolution of birds from theropod dinosaurs.
