Quote:However, detailed studies can sometimes bolster a case for reverse evolution, they added; for instance, by showing that muscle and nerve patterns in both an old and new structure correspond precisely.
Is the grammar correct? I mean the bolded part?
Sounds okay to me. I might say "in both old and new structures", but it's six of one, a half dozen of the other.
"olde" by the way is a faux spelling to make something which is not old seem old. Do not ever use it unless you are consciously being ironic.
