orthohybridization
Orthohybridization is a term sometimes used in evolutionary biology and paleontology to describe a particular pattern of evolutionary change. It suggests a mode of speciation or lineage development where an organism exhibits characteristics that are a mosaic of traits from two distinct ancestral groups, but without clear evidence of direct interbreeding or hybridization between those groups. Instead, it implies that the new lineage has independently acquired or re-evolved features that resemble those of two separate ancestral forms.
This concept is often contrasted with hybridization, which involves the direct genetic exchange between two species.
