    That doesn’t void the point that converging is somewhat expected if the pressure is similar so this doesn’t seem newsworthy or particularly interesting

      That’s a subjective evaluation, noteworthyness or level of interest depends on the reader, not the topic.

      I personally find it as interesting as hearing how moths adapt their camouflage to match pollution or how a new species of lemur is emerging from deforestation.

      These all seem to me like things it’s better to know, than to not know about.

      Though in this case, I do have my doubts that the people doing the study and the journalist reporting it had the same Nobel goals.
