Kısaca

So similar that forensic experts can have trouble telling them apart. Not common ancestry - parallel evolution.

Koala fingerprints are so similar to humans that forensic experts can have trouble distinguishing them. Under a microscope, they"re nearly identical. This is "convergent evolution" - evolved from similar needs, not common ancestry. Both species grip with fingertips, and prints strengthen grip. Koalas are marsupials, very distantly related to humans. Source: Natural Science Journal
