How come you didn't answer the question about divergent vs convergent evolution?

Several reasons:
1) I was busy watching Ken Burns' disappointing "Mark Twain" at the time,
2) the question itself was poorly stated, and
3) the question was irrelevant to the discussion.

The article was quite clear that the author presupposed divergent evolution in his approach to his research, so what was the point of reposting the same point simply to prove to you that I had read the article, particularly when you were making no points worthy of a rebuttal?

I take it that you didn't know.

The question arises, what do people believe and why?
