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…

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…
Comments closedMulti-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.…
Comments closedResearchers: Crabs evolved separately at least five times. What ? Is it some kind of joke ?
Obviously, in a Darwinian fantasy world of random mutation everything is possible. at Popular Mechanics: Animals Keep Evolving Into Crabs, Which Is Somewhat Disturbing It’s…
Comments closedRepeated evolution of multilayered reflective metallic surface in unrelated insects
as you will see, a series of miraculous events happened a long time ago, when at the same moment, several unrelated lineages of insects ‘invented’…
Comments closedRepeated evolution of placental structures: Evolved, devolved, and re-evolved many times
Obviously, evolutionary biologists believe in some kind of magic – it would be a miracle if such a placental structure would evolve once, by random…
Comments closedRepeated evolution: Gastropod’s coiled shell
from a mainstream paper: The re-evolution of a coiled shell, or any complex character, is considered unlikely or impossible (Dollo’s law) because the loss of…
Comments closedRepeated evolution of compound eyes: one of two seemingly very unlikely evolutionary histories must be true
From PNAS.ORG: These results illustrate exactly why arthropod compound eye evolution has remained controversial, because one of two seemingly very unlikely evolutionary histories must be…
Comments closedRepeated evolution: The same retroviral gene coopted independently by unrelated species to aid reproduction
… in other words: a species gets infected by a virus, the virus inserts a part of its own viral-DNA into the species genome. Later…
Comments closedRepeated evolution: Complex brains and high intelligence evolved many times independently
… yes, that miracle happened not once, but many times…independently … it seems that most miracles happen in biology … over and over again ……
