- The quality of being similar or corresponding in position or value or structure or function
- (homological) homologic: similar in evolutionary origin but not in function
- (homologize) be homologous; "A person's arms homologize with a quadruped's forelimbs"
- (homologous) having the same evolutionary origin but not necessarily the same function; "the wing of a bat and the arm of a man are homologous"
- In anthropology and archaeology, homology is a type of analogy whereby two human beliefs, practices or artifacts are separated by time but share similarities due to genetic or historical connections. ...
- In the context of biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa. A common example of homologous structures in evolutionary biology are the wings of bats and the arms of primates...
- A homology in chemistry refers to a chemical compound from a series of compounds that differ only in the number of repeated structural units. A homolog is a special case of an analog. ...
- In mathematics (especially algebraic topology and abstract algebra), homology (in part from Greek u1F41u03BCu03CCu03C2 homos "identical") is a general way of associating a sequence of algebraic objects such as abelian groups or modules to other mathematical objects such as topological spaces. Homology groups were originally defined in algebraic topology...
- Homologies are "structural 'resonances'...between the different elements making up a socio-cultural whole." (Middleton 1990, p. 9)
