Primes¶
- Multi Path Convergence
- In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution has distinct lineages arrive at similar solutions — eyes evolved independently dozens of times; wings in birds, bats, and insects; streamlined bodies in fish, dolphins, and ichthyosaurs — with the destination set by physics and niche and the path contingent.
This sourceDocuments the independent evolution of similar solutions (eyes, wings in birds/bats/insects, streamlined bodies in fish/dolphins/ichthyosaurs) across unrelated lineages, with the destination set by physics and niche.
