Card 7 / 12:
How is it that morphological data alone might lead scientists to group animals into erroneous evolutionary relationships?
In many cases, morphological similarities between animals may be only superficial similarities and may not indicate a true evolutionary relationship. One of the reasons for this is that certain morphological traits can evolve along very different evolutionary branches of animals for similar ecological reasons.
