The best example of evidence to support the argument that the organisms share an ancestor is patterns in limb structures. This type of evidence typically indicates evolutionary relationships, showing how different species may have evolved from a common ancestor while adapting to varying environments or functions. Similarities in limb structures can suggest homologous traits, which are characteristics inherited from a common ancestor.
