In biology, homology is similarity due to shared ancestry between a pair of structures or genes in different taxa. Wikipedia
In mathematics, homology is a general way of associating a sequence of algebraic objects, such as abelian groups or modules, with other mathematical objects such as topological spaces. Wikipedia
In sociocultural anthropology and archaeology, homology is a type of analogy whereby two human beliefs, practices, or artifacts are separated by time and/or place but share similarities due to some underlying factor, whether genetics, historical connection, psychological archetype, or otherwise. Wikipedia
In chemistry, homology is the appearance of homologues. Wikipedia
Homology in psychology, as in biology, refers to a relationship between characteristics that reflects the characteristics' origins in either evolution or development. Wikipedia
