The number and location of bones of many fossil vertebrates are similar to those in living vertebrates this is evidence in support of which of the following concepts?

The similarity in the number and location of bones between many fossil vertebrates and living vertebrates supports the concept of evolutionary relationships and common descent. This evidence indicates that vertebrates share a common ancestor, and the similarities in their skeletal structures can be attributed to evolutionary adaptation and divergence over time. Such patterns are foundational to the theory of evolution, illustrating how species evolve while retaining underlying anatomical traits.
