Scientists use physical structures to reconstruct evolutionary history. They can do this because similarity between structures is due to common ancestry. This similarity is called "homology." The arm of a primate and the wing of a bat are examples of homologous structures. The bones have been modified from a common ancestor to perform different functions, but can still be recognized as a humerus, a radius or an ulna.
