Three types of anatomical evidence for evolution include homologous structures, analogous structures, and vestigial organs. Homologous structures, such as the forelimbs of mammals, show similarities due to common ancestry despite differing functions. Analogous structures, like the wings of birds and insects, exhibit similarities in function but arise from different evolutionary paths. Vestigial organs, such as the human appendix, are remnants of structures that served a purpose in ancestral species, indicating evolutionary change over time.
