Summary Introduction

To predict:

The result of convergent evolution in cichlid fishes found in the latest discovered lakes of African Rift Valley in comparison to rest of the lakes in the valley with same microhabitat.

Introduction:

Convergent evolution happens when different organisms face a similar environment (not necessarily physically connected) and thus develop similar features. These features are called analogous features as they have similar functions but different structures. Like the wings of butterflies and birds.
