Convergent Evolution: Nature's Genius Repeated Solutions
Convergent evolution demonstrates that life repeatedly invents similar solutions to comparable challenges: bats and dolphins independently evolved echolocation, birds and bats developed wings through different pathways, and octopuses achieved mammal-like intelligence using a radically different brain architecture. These patterns reveal that evolution, constrained by physics and chemistry, navigates toward predictable solutions—insights now driving biomimetic technology, conservation strategy,...
