I disagree.

I think two different meme templates that are used for the same type of joke could be considered the equivalent too. To me it makes more sense to compare a meme template to a species and a particular meme to an individual of a species.

Is this the real life?
Fun fact: Almost every species of jumping spider evolved color vision separately.
Convergent would be two people coincidentally making the same meme
Nature’s repost would be gene transfer. Both horizontal and vertical
Plants literally clone themselves
Unless used as a verb, then it's divergent.

The destiny of all species is to eventually become crab.
Why do you think humans have evolved to have less hair than our ancestors? Its the start of a long journey that will eventually being us back to CRABB.
