Homology

-- central notion of molecular evolution

-- all life forms related by descent

-- homology is not the same similarity

-- similarity = the observation or measurement of resemblance or difference in the data, without reference to evolutionary history

-- there is no degree of homology; it is or it isn’t homology

-- homology is inferred from observations of similarity
