Three factors that provide evidences are:

(i) Analogous organs-organisms with similar looking organs may have different origin.
(ii) Homologous organs-organisms with apparently different looking organs may have similar origin.
(iii) Fossils-allow us to make estimates of how far back evolutionary relationships go. Fossils when chronologically arranged help in tracing the evolutionary history of an organism.
