  • Distantly related mammals evolved similar inner ear shapes repeatedly and independently from each other

    How can such complex traits evolve repeatedly over and over again by random mutations ? at Scitechdaily: A new study has shed light on the remarkably convergent [repeated] evolution in the inner ear of mammals, revealing that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly related, but ecologically very similar mammals independently […]

  • Repeated evolution of mammalian-style jaw feature rewrites established understanding of evolution

    Every time Evolutionists take a closer look at fossils (e.g. using modern CT scanning), it usually ends up with another REWRITE of established understanding of evolution … The acquisition of the mammalian jaw contact was a key moment in mammal evolution … What these new Brazilian fossils have shown is that different cynodont groups were […]

  • Repeated evolution: Venom delivery systems evolved multiple times independently, at about the same time, and in the same regions

    Look at Darwinian world of miracles: Venom delivery systems evolved independently in the same periods of Earth’s History and in the same regions … https://www.jstor.org/stable/40864404

  • Repeated evolution of complex brains: The same retroviral insertion event happened independently in mammals, fishes and amphibians

    And here we go again … (there is definitely something very wrong with the theory of evolution) From a mainstream journal (ScienceDaily.com): Researchers report February 15 in the journal Cell that ancient viruses may be to thank for myelin — and, by extension, our large, complex brains. The team found that a retrovirus-derived genetic element or “retrotransposon” […]

  • Repeated evolution: Retroviral gene co-opted 177 times independently in vertebrates

    It is not easy to believe, that a virus inserts its DNA into a vertebrate species genome, and later on, this DNA chunk will aid species reproduction. And this should have happened many times independently in various species … It would be a miracle if this would work once, let alone many times … This […]

  • Not only peppered moth — dark forms increased in over 100 other species of moths during the period of industrial pollution.

    Although many people have heard about industrial melanism in the British peppered moth, it is not widely appreciated that dark forms increased in over 100 other species of moths during the period of industrial pollution. This raises the question of whether they relied on the same or similar genetic mechanism to achieve this colour change. […]

  • Repeated evolution of seed dispersal by ants: 100 independent origins of Myrmecochory

    Seed dispersal is a fundamental life history trait in plants … Myrmecochory (seed dispersal by ants) is mediated by elaiosomes, i.e., lipid-rich seed appendages that attract ants and serve as rewards for dispersal. We found that myrmecochory is present in at least 11 000 species or 4.5% of all species, in 334 genera or 2.5% of […]

  • Repeated evolution: Live birth originated independently 150+ times

    Darwinian world of miracles: Phylogenetic analyses indicate that viviparity (live-bearing reproduction) has originated independently in more than 150 vertebrate lineages, including a minimum of 115 clades of extant squamate reptiles. Other evolutionary origins of viviparity include 13 origins among bony fishes, nine among chondrichthyans, eight in amphibians, one in Paleozoic placoderms, six among extinct reptiles, […]

  • Repeated evolution of venom: 100+ independent origins of complex chemical mixtures

    Venoms are complex mixtures of enzymes and proteins of various sizes, amines, lipids, nucleosides, and carbohydrates. Venoms also contain various metal ions that are presumed to act as cofactors and include sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Spiders are one of the most successful venomous animals, with more than 48,000 described species. Most spider venoms […]

  • Multi-level repeated evolution of complex traits: 94 independent origins of bioluminescence

    First things first: Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms, the light emitted by organisms such as glow-worms, deep-sea fish, fireflies and others. And now some words from Darwinian fantasy storytellers ( from a mainstream article, published December 2020): We argue that bioluminescence, a complex trait that evolved dozens of times through either […]
