∙ 12y agoThe principle that states all species have descended from a common ancestor is known as the theory of evolution. Proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century, this theory explains how populations change over time through the process of natural selection, leading to the diversity of life we see today.

They evolved from a common ancestor.
A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all of its descendants (also referred to as a clade).
A taxon of closely related species that share a recent common ancestor is a genus.
The theory of evolution explains how species change over time through natural selection, genetic variation, and adaptation to their environment. It is supported by evidence from various fields, such as paleontology, genetics, and biogeography, and is considered the central organizing principle of biology.
Evolution.
Apes and humans descended from the same common ancestor.
If species are said to have a common ancestor, it means they are believed to have descended from a single, shared ancestor species in the past. This indicates that despite differences observed in the species today, they share a genetic and evolutionary heritage that links them back to a common origin.
a common ancestor is a species that multiple species share as the species they descended froma person born or that has lived before you and the word common means the same SO ....... its when you have the same descendant or person who lived before you or an ancestor that's the same
They had descended with modification from a common mainland ancestor.
The closest related species of the cheetah are the cougar and jaguarundi. They all descended from a common ancestor.
The main trunk at the bottom of a phylogenetic tree represents the common ancestor from which all the species or groups included in the tree descended. It is the starting point from which the branches representing different species or groups diverge.
The occurrence of the same blood protein in a group of species suggests a common evolutionary heritage or a shared ancestry among those species. It is likely that these species inherited the blood protein from a common ancestor and have retained it through evolution. This shared presence of a specific blood protein can also indicate functional or adaptive significance in these species.
The closest living species related to the cheetah are the cougar and the jaguarundi. All are descended from a common ancestor in North America.

We are not directly descended from chimpanzees, we share a common ancestor.
Yes, they share a common ancestor. The group that contains the chicken, the T. rex, their common ancestor, and all the species that descended from that ancestor is called Coelurosauria.
