Patterns of Evolution Humans alter our environment to suit our needs rather than adapt to our environment based on environmental stressors. Due to this fact‚ we are unlikely to be affected by the pressures of natural selection. We will not likely be affected by further evolution. In convergent evolution‚ unrelated species living in the similar environments become more and more alike in appearance as they adapt to the same kind of environment. Dolphins and sharks are examples of convergent

PART 1: Question 1 Describe the differences between divergent evolution‚ convergent evolution and parallel evolution and provide an example for each type of evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when change from a common ancestral species increases as time passes‚ leading to a speciation event; that is‚ the evolution of two new species. Convergent evolution on the other hand differs from divergent evolution because it is the development of similar features separately in unrelated groups of organisms
