How does embryology support evolution doctrine ?

Solution

According to Ernest Heckel certain features of the embryonic stages are common in the vetebrates..The comparative study of the embryology of different animal groups shows striking structural similarities between them. For example the embryos of all vetebrates including humans develop a row of vestigial gill slit just behind the head but it is functional organ only in fish and not found in any other adult vertebrates.
