- Convergent Evolution
- The multiple lineages are two deeply separate animal groups — vertebrates (the line leading to fish, mammals, and humans) and cephalopods (the line leading to octopuses and squid) — whose last common ancestor was a simple organism that possessed, at most, light-sensitive spots, not a focusing eye.
This sourceDocuments the independent evolution of the camera-type eye in vertebrates and cephalopods, the shared optical pressure, and the inverted-vs-everted retina that betrays separate origins.
