I've never actually heard of these before, lemme go check what they are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, it's Convergent. Convergent Evolution refers to two seperate species having similar evolution traits. So like, a dog and a cat, they are similar but diffferent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the second one is convergent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah...no it'd be the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one would be divergent, it referes to the same or very similar species evolving in a different way, so like for example you have a pig, one group starts turning into boars, while the rest remain pigs.
