Document Summary

Phylogenetic tree of major classes of animals common ancestor of animals that have eyes. There is clear evidence that eye evolved independently 40 times. Not homologous these are independently evolving structures: not similar because they share a common ancestor. We know this because: tissues recruited to make the eyes are different, structures of the eyes are different, harvesting light and focusing the light in different ways, even though eyes make look similar . Evidence of convergence based on the tissues that were recruited and what the eye looks like (structure), way they harvest light and the way it bounces around is very different. Kept clear because proteins are prevented from aggregated (from clumping up) Crystallins are homologous to heat shock proteins (chaperones keeping things from denaturing: have ancestral heat shock protein through duplication: get 2 and they evolve differently. One stays as heat shock protein helps folding. Other one evolves to crystallins gets recruited to build lens of eye.
