Antibodies
So with things like hemoglobin across lots of different species, there's this kind of convergent evolution towards a particular... So it's the other way around. It's a divergent evolution. If you imagine there was an ancestral mammal that had hemoglobin, we all have hemoglobin and we're all divergent from there. But because it's so efficient, it stays mostly the same across all these different ancestors. We've all separately evolved. That makes sense. Because it would obviously be a lot more rare for that to happen just by chance. With antibodies, with the tricky bit, and say the name of the tricky bit again. I say CDRs, it's complementary determining regions
