Cause of Convergent Evolution
Though there is only one reason which triggers the Convergent Evolution. This is known as Exposure to the common habitat. Due to any reason, some species come to live in the same environment. These reasons may be predator presence, lack of food resources, etc. But the main thing is that they all come to live in the same environment. This environment stimulates them to acquire desired traits to survive in nature. In this way, different species have to develop some type of traits to live in that environment. This is the reason why in different species same traits are available.
Convergent Evolution
Evolution is a developing process. It is a continuous & immortal process by which new species take place in nature. Evolution is a process where from an existing creature a new completely different creature evolved. In every living thing, evolution can be observed. Though evolution takes millions of times to create a new species, but still in the present time also, evolution is the key force that maintains nature. Scientists believe that there are many types of evolution present. Among them, Divergent Evolution is the major one. But others also are responsible for creating new species. Among others, Convergent Evolution is next to the Divergent Evolution.
