| Further, there is too much variety to be accommodated by any evolutionist theory of common descent. |
|
| But planes would still fly, and life still evolves through natural selection, common descent, and the known workings of genetics. |
|
| Indeed, common place of origin is often connected with genos, one's origins by common descent and parentage. |
|
| Outside the immediate family, the lineage and the clan are the most common descent groups. |
|
| Race is also sometimes used to divide humanity into different groups according to real or imagined common descent. |
|
| If the former, the most likely explanation would be that they were there by common descent from animal ancestors. |
|
| Rather, we can entertain common descent from multiple ancestors. |
|
| Biological evolution also refers to the common descent of living organisms from shared ancestors. |
|
| Clans are created through common descent from a shared male ancestor. |
|
| At the next level, several villages that belong to common descent make up a clan. |
|
| Evolution by saltation seems to be the rule in the microbial world, and the doctrine of common descent is questioned. |
|
| Belief in common descent is largely derived from the existence of homologous structures shared by many forms of life. |
|
| Since the time Darwin published The Origin of Species, embryology has been used to support common descent. |
|
| In fact, many ID theorists support the idea of common descent and billions of years of time. |
|
| These analogous structures result from convergent evolution, not common descent. |
|
| The terms ethnic and ethnicity have their roots in the Greek word ethnos, which describes a community of common descent. |
|
| Correspondence of features due to similarity of function but not related to common descent is termed analogy. |
|
| Such parallels at least hint at the common descent of all animals from a marine ancestor. |
|
| We now understand the kind to be a group of organisms who share a genetic relationship through common descent from an organism originally created by God during the Creation Week. |
|
| For example, in population studies, a particular group can be identified by common descent, geographic location, ethnic origin, etc. The results, if revealed and publicized, may stigmatize the other individuals in that group. |
|
|
|
| According to the definition contained in article 36 of the Syrian Civil Code, a person's family consists of his kinsfolk, i.e. all those who are linked to him by common descent. |
|
| In making the case for common descent, he included evidence of homologies between humans and other mammals. |
|
| More recently, evidence for common descent has come from the study of biochemical similarities between organisms. |
|
| By expressing the myths of having common descent and common destiny, people's sense of belonging to a nation is enhanced. |
|
| It is an ad hoc group of organisms who share common descent. |
|
| A lineage is a unilineal descent group that can demonstrate their common descent from a known apical ancestor. |
|
| A clan is generally a descent group claiming common descent from an apical ancestor. |
|
| All creatures are united in a common existence, a common descent. |
|
| Creationists have argued for decades that the transitional forms do not exist which are required to prove the common descent of all life on earth. |
|
| The model of the nation state implies that its population constitutes a nation, united by a common descent, a common language and many forms of shared culture. |
|
| In order to show that shared innovations are from a common descent it is necessary that they do not arise because of language contact after initial separation. |
