The causes of repeated genetic evolution.

Developmental biology - 1 Aug 2009

Gompel Nicolas, Prud'homme Benjamin

Abstract excerpt

A general understanding of the evolutionary process is limited by the contingency of each evolutionary event, making it difficult, even retrospectively, to explain why things have unfolded the way they have. The repeated evolution of similar traits in organisms facing similar environmental conditions is a pervasive phenomenon, including for animal morphology, and is considered a strong evidence for adaptive...
