What are species that share a common ancestor?
Answer 1tigers and lions.Answer 2Tigers and lions share the Saber toothed tiger. You can see that there are no improvements from the Saber Toothed Tiger. There is only genetic losses along the path that leads to eventual extinction.The Tiger is nearly extinct. Lions are nearly extinct. There are 1.5 million species believed to be extinct and 47000 now on the list including 1 in 4 mammals.There is only extinction as the end result of genetic degradation leading to extinction. There is no evolution.Answer 3Modern humans and Neanderthals shared a common ancestor. Humans and chimpanzees share a more remote common ancestor. Humans and bonobos yet a more remote common ancestor. Horses and zebras share a fairly recent common ancestor, compared to the ancestor shared by horses and rhinoceroses. Basically, all known lifeforms have in their genomes evidence of a shared ancestry, suggesting that all the wide variety of modern life stems from a very limited number of early organisms.
