Convergent Evolution:
Convergent evolution involves unrelated species independently evolving similar traits or adaptations due to similar environmental pressures. While these species may not share a recent common ancestor, they develop analogous structures that serve similar functions. Convergent evolution is a fascinating aspect of evolution, highlighting the role of adaptation in shaping the characteristics of organisms. An example is the evolution of wings in birds and bats, where the structures are similar for flight but have different evolutionary origins.
