paralelismo
A similar evolutionary development in different species lines after divergence from a common ancestor that had the initial anatomical feature that led to it. Parallelism is thought to be due primarily to the independent species lines experiencing the same kinds of natural selection pressures. Parallelism is also referred to as parallel evolution. Parallelism results in homoplasies. See convergence.
