I'm sure all living things have something in common.

Yes, and for some reason when you compare the DNA of all species you find similarity such that apes are like apes, humans like apes, apes like monkeys, and so on so that all mammals have DNA more similar than to reptiles, reptiles more similar to other reptiles, amphibians to amphibians and so on. This is what makes evolution a scientific theory. The molecular evidence was similar to that predicted by cladistics. Evolution made a prediction that rang true.
