	- Aristotle recognised the distinction between analogous and homologous structures, and made the following prophetic comparison:
"Birds in a way resemble fishes. For birds have their wings in the upper part of their bodies and fishes have two fins in the front part of their bodies. Birds have feet on their underpart and most fishes have a second pair of fins in their under-part and near their front fins." (en)
