Today, we’re covering convergent evolution, a common term in science fields. While it is a complicated term, it’s relatively easy to understand when you look at some of the more key examples.

Convergent ‘Cuteness’ Is Making Dogs and Cats Look Alike Pugs, Persian cats, and other smushed-face cats and dogs are more similar to one another than they are to the wild animals they evolved ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître ...

We can label the three main patterns as divergent, convergent and parallel evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when related populations become increasingly different from each other as they ...

A diverse group of lizards known as the social skinks is helping scientists answer questions about some of the fundamental workings of evolution.

Cognition and intelligence create a common background. This is in tension with the radically private nature of consciousness.
