Evidences are: 

(a) Homologous organs: Organs which have same structure but different function. E.g., wings of a bat, hands of man and limbs of monkey. 

(b) Analogous organ. Organs which perform similar function but are structurally different are called analogous organ. E.g., wings of bat, insects, birds.

(c) Vestigial organs: These organs are those which appear in an organism but are functionless e.g., vermiform appendix, nictitating membrane in eye is present in human beings but has no function. 

(d) Embryological evidence: The study of embryos of vertebrates shows that all of them have same origin as their structure at initial stage is same. Embryo of frog, fish, man looks alike. 

(e) Fossils as evidence: Archaeopteryx fossils shows a link between bird and reptiles as this fossil has some feature of bird and some of reptile.
