I am currently in a Biology class and we have been discussing this.
Do not be fooled by your biology textbook, because it most likely has the wrong information in it. You will probably see a picture of a human embryo compared to embryos of several other animals, and they will all look extremely similar.
Your textbook answer to this question should be that they are very similar in the earliest stages and then diversify as they develop (this shows evidence for common ancestry).
However, this has been proven false. (I happened upon your question while searching for information to support that this has been proven.) I would provide links to evidence and such if I had found them, but my search has literally just started.
Embryos are extremely different in the earliest stages. It is not until a later stage that they become similar. Therefore, this cannot provide evidence for common descent.
So human embryos compared to other animal embryos goes like this:
Very very different
then Similar
then Growing differences

Fruit Fly embryos and frog embryos differ from each other more than frog embryos and human embryos do What does this tell us about how the three species are related?
Fruit Flies and frog eggs are long-time,well characterized standbys in the lab environment,and specific manipulations allow researches to introduce genes from other organisms into these species
Can you compare the reproductive capacity of a starfish with that of other animals?

Why is our hearing different compare to other animals' hearing?

Are dog ribs flat and oval like a pigs?
No, a dog's ribs are rounded just like a lot of other animals. A pig's ribs are flat and basically the same as a human's. A pig is one of the closest animals if you want to compare animals to humans.
How do you study zoology easily?
Zoology is the study of animals. If you don't like animals, it helps to compare them to yourself because other animals have a lot in common with the human animal. Try to imagine the organs in your own body to remember the organs in an animal, for example, or try to picture a human doing the same behavior. For memorizing animal names and terms, use a Study Deck
