In the late stages of development, both fish embryos and human embryos exhibit the presence of structures that are indicative of their shared evolutionary history. Specifically, the similarity between a fish embryo and a human embryo is that they both have tails. This reflects the early stages of development where many vertebrate embryos share common features before they undergo species-specific differentiation.

So, the correct response is: They both have tails.
