Convergent Evolution
Assembly Theory reveals why seemingly different phenomena - like flight in insects, birds, and aircraft, or vision systems in various organisms - follow similar assembly principles.
Despite arising through completely different pathways, they converge on similar solutions due to fundamental constraints in assembly space.
