convergent evolution

基本解释

Dr Conway-Morris has arrived at this view from a detailed study of what is known as convergent evolution.
康威-莫瑞斯博士通过对聚合进化进行细致研究后得出这一观点。
Brannon agrees: "We clearly must be talking about convergent evolution or something that is so primal that it traces back to millions and millions of years ago."
布赖农赞同道：”显然，在研究动物识数能力的进化问题时，我们必然会谈到趋同进化，这是如此原始的一种能力，可以一直追溯到数百万年以前。
In an example of what's known as convergent evolution, geographically isolated and genetically distinct species developed similar characteristics because they were adjusting to similar environments.
这是趋同进化的一个例子：间隔十万八千里，基因不同的物种，为了适应相似的外部环境，越来越趋于同质化了。

ECONOMIST: Evolution
For example, in a few minutes, and without even leaving Wikipedia, you can travel from the Tasmanian Devil to Tasmanian devils to Tasmanian tigers to thylacines to convergent evolution.

That similarity, though, is almost certainly the result of convergent evolution rather than a common origin, since the last joint ancestor of Crassicorophium and spiders lived way longer ago than the ancestor of Crassicorophium and barnacles.

趋同进化
The third possibility is the convergent evolution. But this possibility can be precluded because of similarity of their development process.
第三是趋同进化，但由于这两者发育过程的相似性，趋同进化的可能性被排除。
