They all provide evidence in support of various aspects of evolution

Explanation:

The pentadactyl limb of most mammals - how evolution works from existing parts and varies them a little at a time to give an organisms the best chance of survival.

The finches of Galapagos island - how species are not static and change radically over time and in different environments.

The embryos of common vertebrates - all vertebrate embryos look similar at the early stages - shows our common ancestor.

The chemical structures of organisms generally - common chemical structure and DNA/RNA strongly suggest a common origin.

The fossil record - shows how species adapt to varying environmental conditions over time. How they are not static and change.
