Science Article Acknowledges Convergent Similarity Is "Contrary to Expectations" of Neo-Darwinism

A Physorg article about the paper explains that there are two types of homoplasy: "Parallelism/convergence homoplasy occurs when the same trait is present in two lineages that lack a recent common ancestor. Reversal homoplasy occurs when a trait is...
