Cultural segregation is the opposite end of the spectrum from cultural appropriation. It is the end goal of people who believe that cultures should stay pure and not mix, and can be considered a form of racism. The phrase "cultural appropriation" is sometimes used disingenuously with the end goal of discouraging culture mixing.

Example of sub-cultural appropriation:
"Omg Becky, where did you get that trasher shirt I LOVE it."
"I got it at target! It was in the sub-cultural appropriation aisle, next to The Grateful Dead, Nirvana, and Harley Davidson March!"

Convergent cultural evolution refers to the phenomenon where distinct cultures independently develop similar traits, practices, or technologies over time. This convergence occurs despite differences in geographical location, historical context, or cultural background. It's a concept often observed in anthropology and sociology.
Wow, the Hindus and Christians both developed the watchmaker analogy to represent the dive. What a unique example of Convergent Cultural Evolution.
