The human foot verses the chimpanzees foot, for instance. Both organisms diverged from common ancestry, but their feet were subject to vastly different environmental pressures and function in very different ways now, though their commonality is rather obvious.

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.

Do hedgehogs and echidnas show an example of divergent evolution?

Hedgehogs and echidnas show convergent evolution. Despite being far apart, they ended up looking very similar. Like sharks and dolphins.


Related organisms become less alike by preditation adaptation convergent evolution or divergent evolution?

Related organisms become less alike by divergent evolution, which occurs when two different populations from the same ancestor evolve in separate directions, leading to different traits and characteristics. Over time, natural selection causes these divergent traits to become more pronounced, resulting in greater differences between the populations.


What is simliar between convegent evolution and divergent?

Both convergent and divergent evolution involve the process of species adapting to their environments over time through natural selection. Convergent evolution results in different species developing similar traits independently in response to similar environmental pressures, while divergent evolution leads to the development of distinct traits in related species due to different environmental pressures.
