How similar is DNA from convergent evolution animals?

I mean, my uncle (who spent very little time with his bio father) has all the same mannerisms as him. As do I and my mother and one of my brothers. Some of it is that we inherited similar skeletal structure so our posture is similar. Some of it, I dunno.

well, at some point, everything is a crab.

so I would assume pretty similar.

great question though.
