What does common ancestor mean?

AnswerA common ancestor means that two of more animlas are descended from the same individual. You and your second cousin have a common ancestor in one of your great grandparents; you and your sister have a common ancestor in you mother. AnswerIt means that the species involved evolved from the same ancestor. Contrary to popular belief, evolution does not follow a single path. It is more like a tree branching off in different directions. For example, the pterodactyl and modern birds both have a common ancestor in the archaeopteryx. Whereas each came from a pteranodon, they both evolved into different niches in the environment and thus developed differently.
