Evolution takes a similar course each time, study suggests
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/evolution-takes-similar-course-time...
The experiment has been done with E. coli bacteria.
"Michael Doebeli, a mathematician and evolutionary biologist at the University of British Columbia, and postdoctoral researcher Matthew Herron
conducted three separate experiments under the same laboratory conditions, observing 1,000 generations of E. coli bacteria as they evolved into two
different strains — a process known as diversification that eventually gives rise to separate species."
