Genetic Drift

In exploring the intricacies of evolutionary biology, various key concepts emerge that elucidate the mechanisms and patterns through which species evolve over time. Convergent evolution, for instance, demonstrates how distinct species independently develop similar traits, such as the wings of birds and bats, due to similar environmental pressures.
