• Darwin

• Lamarck

• natural selection

• artificial selection

• creationism

Species not closely related evolve similar traits due to their similar environment

• Convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

• parallel evolution

Species from very different areas of the world evolve in a similar manner in order to survive

• convergent evolution

• parallel evolution

• divergent evolution

Species from the same ancestor accumulate differences over time

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution
