David Baxter: Would you kindly explain for me concept of convergent evolution? I am a neophyte in all branches of human
knowledge and too old to begin now. I hardly read one of books by Isaac Asimov long time ago. Nothing else. Thanks.

I love the idea of horizontal gene transfer. If you like science fiction then take a look at the Polity novels of Neal Asher, especially those dealing with the Spatterjay virus and the Jain. I wonder if his ideas were inspired by this process or whether we just had some convergent evolution!
