Who are you to say what Milton (an evolutionist) would predict? Milton was discussing convergent evolution, that's it. Milton just questions the belief that random mutations could lead to such similarities in geologically isolated organisms- all from one alleged common ancestor, some alleged shrew-like organism.
On page 193 of Milton's book "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism" he has the two skulls side by each. As in the above link they look very similar. If that is all you had to go by good luck figuring out which is which.

Re: Similarities of two sorts.
The genomes will make a fool out of Milton? Did you read his book? Some how I doubt it. It actually depends on which wolf you are talking about- Milton mentions the european timber wolf. Sure there are differences, very slght, but that isn't the point. Until you read the book you will miss that point.
The duplication is closer than you think.
Perhaps chimps & humans are also the result of convergent evolution?
