Similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest they evolved from a common ancestor. c. Similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest they have evolved convergently. d. The anatomy of the vertebrate forelimb is not currently undergoing natural selection. e. Differences among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved independently.
