Understanding Developmental Homology

The video tutorial discusses homologous structures in different species, focusing on anatomical and developmental homology. It explains how structures in various species, such as bones in forelimbs, are considered homologous due to their common ancestry. The tutorial delves into developmental homology, highlighting the similar embryological stages across vertebrates, including the presence of pharyngeal arches. It further explores how these arches develop into different structures in humans and fish, illustrating the concept of developmental homology.
