If organisms have similar genes, then they are closely related.
That different organisms are able to adapt to the same environment.
Comparing organisms in the fossil record providesevidence that organisms have changed over time
Comparative DNA samples from chimpanzees and humans show very well the concept of evolutionary common ancestry. Aside from that, the differences in DNA among organisms, especially at certain loci, show how long two, or more, organisms shared common ancestry.
Such similarities are taken to be evidence of common ancestry.
I do not know. I can look at shared biochemical pathways and see direct evidence of common ancestry with other organisms.

It simply highly suggests that all organisms going through this developmental phase have common ancestry, thus are related on the tree of life.
Of common ancestry, though ontogeny does not recapitulate phylogeny, ontogeny, development, can create phylogeny.
We all current life has a single common ancestor.
The DNA genetic code provides the best evidence of the common ancestry of life. Science has shown that there are many similarities between DNA sequences.
The strong evidence for the common ancestry of all vertebrates is THE SIMILARITY OF THEIR EMBRYOLOGICAL STAGES.
This electron shuttle is highly conserved across many species and jumps across taxa with little change in composition, thus providing evidence for the common ancestry of many organisms.
It does hint at common ancestry so it is "evidence" of evolution.
Simularities in DNA sequence
Actually, it is the strongest evidence for evolution. Without one fossil we would know from the DNA evidence that evolution has occurred and is occurring. It is in the DNA of organisms that we see the strongest evidence for common ancestry. The products of those genes are sometimes highly conserved down the ages. Ribosomes, the workbenches on which proteins are made, differ hardly at at between you and pets.
