    The document discusses key concepts in evolution including: - Australopithecus showed early bipedal locomotion. - Fossils provide evidence of evolution from early humans like Cro-Magnon Man to Homo sapiens. - Analogous organs share a function but different origins, while homologous organs like forelimbs across species share an origin.

    individual.
    Analogous organs are similar in function.
    The fossils of cro magnon mas were found in France.
    Forelimbs of man, wings of bat and flippers of seal are
    homologous organs.
    Peripatus is called connecting link because it has characters
    of both annelida and arthropoda.

    organs.
    Fitness of an organism in a population as said by Darwin is
    the measure of the ability of the organism relative to
