Common ancestry may extraordinarily restrict the degree of diversity, e.g., all birds are closely related, they have common ancestors but birds and reptiles are also related.

Animals show immense variety in their structures, they probably have diverse ancestry. If we arrange species according to the evolutionary relationship, we can develop small groups of living beings with ongoing regular predecessors. These are additionally named as super-groups with the most distinct common ancestors. Moreover, we can continue to go in reverse in this arrangement to go to a single species at the earliest reference point of evolutionary time. But having a single ancestor would restrict the diversity seen in the organisms today.

Along these lines, it very well may be said that the occurrence of animals on Earth proposes their diverse ancestry too.
