What do grasshoppers eat? Scientists have discovered that they have similarities between their teeth and mammalian teeth, ,

As Chris Stockey, the leader of  anew study, puts it;  “mouthparts of mammals and grasshoppers have evolved independently for 400 million years, and were not present in their common ancestor.”

 

This brings us down to convergent evolution, if species that don’t resemble each other, some scientist might take a strait that looks like the other as  convergent evolution.

Actually, the convergent in evolution means there is no evolution at all,
