A sense of wonder at life and evolution on our planet is not lost on George McGhee, author of Convergent Evolution
Convergent evolution results from the finite number of ecological niches on our planet, each of which is exploited by many organisms that share a common origin
For each example of convergent evolution, McGhee provides a table of the various phylogenetic lineages that have converged on the same trait
