Parallel evolution is basically where evolution follows the same path in a species, but in locations isolated from each other. The purpose is to work towards protecting species wherever they are found.

What is another name for parallel evolution archaeology?

Convergent evolution is another term used in archaeology to describe parallel evolution. This phenomenon occurs when unrelated species or cultures develop similar traits or technologies in response to similar environmental pressures or challenges.

What is an example of divergent evolution?

Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.

Is there a report that includes both the purpose for evolution in science and the removal of evolution in science?

Evolution has no purpose, it just changes allele frequencies over time in populations of organisms due to selective forces. There is no removal from science for the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains a great deal about the fact of evolution, is the backbone of biology and will not be removed anytime soon though improvements may be made to the theory.


Compare convergent divergent parallel evolution?

Convergent evolution is when two unrelated species develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments. Divergent evolution is when two species with a common ancestor develop different traits due to adapting to different environments. Parallel evolution is when two related species independently develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments, but they do share a recent common ancestor.
