Convergent evolution is a situation whereby different unrelated species independently develop similar traits. In some biological cases, other organisms develop identical characteristics to solve a common problem presented by their habitat (Sackton & Clark, 2019). When two or more organisms portray similar traits not inherited from a shared ancestor, they have undergone convergent evolution. A…

The natural advancements made by various species are an essential topic of scientific discussion in multiple fields of study. The development of the order primates, which currently includes a large number of animals, has been thoroughly discussed by numerous researchers interested in animal and human species’ progression. From the first occurrence of true primates about…
