homologous - corresponding or similar in position or structure or function or characteristics; especially derived from an organism of the same species; a homologous tissue graft. autologous - derived from organisms of the selfsame individual; autologous blood donation.
Homologous structures are parts of the body that are similar in structure to other species' comparative parts. Scientists say these similarities are evidence that life on earth share a common ancient ancestor from which many or all other species have evolved over time.
