Homology

[Kipling Will]

Isn't this the very way that Owen (and others before him) used the term. Or
are my wife's and my chromosomes somehow differently homologous than our
left arms.

Two organisms, same structure.

Perhaps what you are looking for is the first person to have stated that
parental chromosomes are, in fact, homologs. Not a first instance that the
term is being differently used .
