No. You can't define the evolution of a single species as convergent. Rather convergent evolution is a comparison of the evolution of two or more groups of organism, which independently evolve similar adaptations. The evolution of birds, bats, and pterosaurs is an example of convergent evolution: in all three groups the forelimbs developed into wings.

∙ 12y agoConvergent evolution is when two different species in similar environment converge on similar adaptions, phenotypes and behavior in that immediate environment. Contrast placental mammals in the rest of the world to marsupial animals in Australia for many examples of convergent evolution.Or just mammals in the ocean, such a dolphins, and compare then to fish, such as sharks.

What kind of features can convergent evolution lead to?

What is an example of convergent evolution in the tundra?
Convergent evolution is said to have occurred when species which are very different from one another have developed very similar traits. This type of evolution is said to happen as a result of having to adapt to specific environments, such as a tundra. An example of convergent evolution in the tundra is the arctic fox.
How do wings of penguins and puffins demonstrate convergent evolution?
No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.
How do organisms that are not related now appear similar?
This is called analogous traits. When two different types of organisms are in the same type of environment, usually geographically separated, they come up with very similar adaptions to their local environment.
Does convergent evolution result in speciation?
All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.
What do creationists believe on the origin of humans?
Creationists do not believe in Evolution. Since they believe the bible word for word, they truly believe that Adam was made out of clay, and Eve made out of one of his ribs.
How do you use convergent evolution in a sentence?
Convergent evolution means that different species have evolved to do the same sort of thing. Those two animals show convergent evolution. Convergent evolution explains why they look so much alike.
What might creationists believe?
Creationists believe that God created the universe. Some creationists prefer to theorize that Evolution took place and was guided by God. Other creationists believe that God created the universe, this Earth, and living things directly, without recourse to billions of years.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
What percentage of the world are creationists?
I don't think that you could accurately determine the percentage. There are those that believe in creation and those that believe in evolution. A large part of those that say they believe in creation also believe in evolution to some degree. If you are taking a count of who believes what, put me down for creation with no evolution.
What do creationists believe in?
The views of creationists vary, so I will give you a very general set of beliefs.Creationists generally believe:- God created everything in present form. Evolution is not true.- The earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old.- The complexity of DNA proves that everything was designed by God.- There was a global flood.- Dinosaurs and humans coexisted.Hopefully you get the picture by now. Obviously, science completely contradicts creationism. Evolution is very much true.AnswerTo find out what creationists believe in, I suggest you google : (1) "Answers in Genesis" to see what creationists believe, and then(2) "Evolution vs Creation" or something similar to see what scientists say and whether evolution is at all possible or not.Then make up your own mind. [Look up the definition of a religion and you will see that evolution is also a religion].
Why do some believe creationists are so dumb?
Because every argument they make in support of creationism / denial of evolution is demonstrably false.

How many types of Creationists are there?
Creationists can be styled as "Young Earth" Creationists and "Old Earth Creationists".Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is literally only about 6,000 years old, based on a literal reading of the biblical Book of Genesis. They believe that species have not evolved, but were created much as we know them today.Old Earth Creationists accept the scientific evidence that the world is immensely old, but say that evolution, if it occurred at all, was guided by "Intelligent Design".Another way of categorising some Creationists is as either Cosmic Creationists, who see intelligent design because the laws of the universe are exactly what suits the evolution of human life, or Biological Creationists, who say that the universe is so uncongenial to life that life could not have evolved naturally.For more information on creationism and other views on our origin, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What is the difference between evolution and convergent evolution?
Evolution is the general theory itself, by which organisms change and adapt over time. Convergent evolution is a specific proces in which similar traits appear in unrelated organisms. For example, insects and birds both have wings but the two evolved independent of each other. That's convergent evolution.
The independent evolution of the advanced cephalopod eye and the eye of a vertebrate is know as?
convergent evolution
Related organisms become less alike by preditation adaptation convergent evolution or divergent evolution?
Divergent evolution.
When two organisims look alike?
Convergent evolution.
