Convergent evolution is the term used to describe the phenomenon of similar traits occurring in groups or species that are not closely related. This usually occurs when unrelated groups develop a trait independently of one another due to similar evolutionary pressures. An example of convergent evolution is the presence of wings in birds and bats. Bats are a mammal and are not closely related to birds but both have wings to fill the same purpose, flight.
