Abstract
Clues providing insights into the evolutionary past may be found as patterns hidden in the morphology, cytology and biochemistry of today’s species. The commonality of the structure and function of DNA in almost all species is such a pattern. The ubiquitous distribution of DNA provides, in itself, the most convincing argument for the validity of evolution, and at the same time, the basis for the subtle changes in genotype that fuel the processes of evolution.
