Convergence or divergence? (Introduction)

This is kind of a shot in the foot for evolutionary theory. If the species evolve within a set of tight parameters, as this study shows(and as I have repeatedly predicted they would show), then that really serves to nix the concept of divergence, and by extension speciation via evolution. The fact that they developed nearly identical traits to deal with nearly identical environments(also something I have predicted repeatedly) speaks more in favor of design than evolution. Common solutions to common problems built right into the code, and not deviating from those solutions beyond the pre-programmed parameters.
