Convergent evolution is the concept of two or more species evolving similar traits despite being completely unrelated to one another, including the absence of a common ancestor.
The Platyrrhines, more commonly known as "New World Monkeys", share many characteristics with the Prosimians. Some of these include:
- Teeth layout
- Diet
- Eyesight
- Sleeping habits
and more.
The Platyrrhines and the Prosimians are both nocturnal animals. Despite all other members of their family being active during the day, the Playrrhines have evolved nocturnal habits similar to that of the Prosimians. Aside from that, they<u> feed on insects</u> more so than fruit, which is reflected by the layout of their teeth, and have eyesight well adapted to dark conditions. All of these are traits they share with the Prosimians.
Despite being in different ecosystems and regions, and sharing no recent common ancestors, both of these species <u>have evolved strikingly similar traits.</u> This can be used to corroborate the theory of convergent evolution, which explains how <u>two </u><u>species </u><u>can </u><u>evolve</u><u> very similar </u><u>traits </u><u>despite being unrelated.</u>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
It was developed by many scientists over many decades.
<h3><u>
Explanation;</u></h3>
- DNA is a type of nucleic acid that contains two long, twisted strands, known as double helix, that contain complementary genetic information.
- A gene is a segment of DNA that is passed down from parents to children and confers a trait to the offspring.
- The traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, known as genotype.
- Our understanding of DNA and inherited traits has changed over time since it has been continuously developed by many scientists over may decades.
Selective logging—the practice of removing one or two trees and leaving the rest intact—is often considered a sustainable alternative to clear-cutting, in which a large swath of forest is cut down, leaving little behind except wood debris and a denuded landscape.
