Bird and bat wings are analogous due to their wings. They are homologous because of their forelimbs. How is this difference most likely possible?

Birds and bats inherited the basic forelimb structure from a common ancestor, which is why their forelimbs are homologous. Their wings, however, evolved independently as adaptations for flight, making the wings analogous. This independent development is an example of convergent evolution.
