Since I'm in music mode I'll talk about divergent evolution of instruments. Before we had microphones and amplifiers, the drums and horns were the dominant musical instruments. You can hear them from far away and you can make them out in a crowd.
But their bold sounds makes them hard to modify and play with because amplifying them causes distortion in speakers, distortion sound pretty good on a guitar but fairly awful on a trumpet. Quieter instruments become electrified because they're more able to produce a large range of sounds while louder instruments don't.
And the instruments themselves started to have electric components. Even where the concept is pretty narrow, make sounds for people to enjoy, there is a lot of range in how that can be accomplished.

Music is a great example of both convergent and divergent evolution!

But it is mighty suspicious that our hair works just like flowers. The Matrix theory is suddenly not so farfetched, is it?
Birds aren't real.
But why is hair real then?

I lay the hair bare there.
