How hummingbird from north America and unrelated sun bird from Africa could both evolve long beak for reach into flower?

Both birds would have had minor mutations that make their beaks slightly longer, allowing them to be advantaged, which over time caused a long beak to evolve.

Analogous selection.

How can hummingbirds from north America and unrelated sunbirds from Africa could both evolve long beaks for reaching into flowers?
That would be an example of convergent evolution. This happens when two unrelated species develop similar structures that have a similar form or function. There is a common need at the core of the issue, but the specific situation and adaption may be different. For example, insects, birds and bats have all evolved to have wings, yet they cannot be considered genetically related. The same goes for two independent species of birds both adapting to have long beaks for reaching into flowers. -------------------Because that is the way God created them...:)

Why are physical similarities among species not always the result of being related?
because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
