No. You can't define the evolution of a single species as convergent. Rather convergent evolution is a comparison of the evolution of two or more groups of organism, which independently evolve similar adaptations. The evolution of birds, bats, and pterosaurs is an example of convergent evolution: in all three groups the forelimbs developed into wings.

How do wings of penguins and puffins demonstrate convergent evolution?
No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.
Do any scientists today who are not creationists express dissent from Darwin and his views?
Such a person would have to meet three requirements: 1) Publishes articles in peer reviewed scientific journals. 2) Religious or not, he/she doesn't concern him/herself with creationism. 3) Objects to evolution. I know of people who publish scientific articles and aren't religious/creationists - but they don't object to evolution. I know of people who publish scientific articles and object to evolution (though not simultaneously) - but they are creationists. I know of people who object to evolution but are not creationists - however they don't publish. I know of no people who meet all three criteria.
How do organisms that are not related now appear similar?
This is called analogous traits. When two different types of organisms are in the same type of environment, usually geographically separated, they come up with very similar adaptions to their local environment.
Does convergent evolution result in speciation?
All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.
What do creationists believe on the origin of humans?
Creationists believe that humans were created by a supernatural being, typically a deity such as God, as described in religious texts like the Bible. They reject the scientific theory of evolution and instead adhere to the belief that humans were directly created in their present form.
What percentage of the world are creationists?
I don't think that you could accurately determine the percentage. There are those that believe in creation and those that believe in evolution. A large part of those that say they believe in creation also believe in evolution to some degree. If you are taking a count of who believes what, put me down for creation with no evolution.
What do creationists believe in?
The views of creationists vary, so I will give you a very general set of beliefs.Creationists generally believe:- God created everything in present form. Evolution is not true.- The earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old.- The complexity of DNA proves that everything was designed by God.- There was a global flood.- Dinosaurs and humans coexisted.Hopefully you get the picture by now. Obviously, science completely contradicts creationism. Evolution is very much true.AnswerTo find out what creationists believe in, I suggest you google : (1) "Answers in Genesis" to see what creationists believe, and then(2) "Evolution vs Creation" or something similar to see what scientists say and whether evolution is at all possible or not.Then make up your own mind. [Look up the definition of a religion and you will see that evolution is also a religion].
How do you use convergent evolution in a sentence?
Convergent evolution means that different species have evolved to do the same sort of thing. Those two animals show convergent evolution. Convergent evolution explains why they look so much alike.
What is the name of evolution that produces similar but distantly related organisms?
Convergent evolution, or convergence theory.
How is evolution and convergent evolution alike?
Evolution and convergent evolution both involve changes in organisms over time. However, convergent evolution specifically refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental challenges.
What might creationists believe?
Creationists typically believe that the universe, Earth, and all living things were created by a supreme being, often the God of the Christian Bible, as described in Genesis. They may reject the theory of evolution and instead believe that the diversity of life on Earth can be explained by special creation events. Creationists often interpret scientific evidence, such as the fossil record, in ways that support their beliefs about the origins of life.
How many types of Creationists are there?
Creationists can be styled as "Young Earth" Creationists and "Old Earth Creationists".Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is literally only about 6,000 years old, based on a literal reading of the biblical Book of Genesis. They believe that species have not evolved, but were created much as we know them today.Old Earth Creationists accept the scientific evidence that the world is immensely old, but say that evolution, if it occurred at all, was guided by "Intelligent Design".Another way of categorising some Creationists is as either Cosmic Creationists, who see intelligent design because the laws of the universe are exactly what suits the evolution of human life, or Biological Creationists, who say that the universe is so uncongenial to life that life could not have evolved naturally.For more information on creationism and other views on our origin, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Find one example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules?
One example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules is the evolution of leaf-like structures in different lineages that have adapted to a similar environment. Despite starting from different ancestral forms, these organisms have independently evolved leaf-like structures to maximize surface area for photosynthesis, showing convergent evolution.
The independent evolution of the advanced cephalopod eye and the eye of a vertebrate is know as?

It already has in some instances
