A character that originally evolved for one function , or for no function at all , may
be used by an organism for an entirely different function — but its current function
cannot be viewed as its adaptive raison d ' être . Our hands did not evolve their ...

And if the function of a complex organ depends on the congruence of
interdependent parts , how can the several parts evolve if they do not arise in
concert ? These questions have not been entirely resolved ( Frazzetta 1975 ) ,

Like gene duplication , polyploidy increases the number of copies of a gene , and
as in the case of gene duplication , duplicate copies diverge in function . The fish
families Salmonidae ( trout , salmon , and relatives ) and Catostomidae ...
