Repeated 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 true
. Either compound eyes with detailed similarities
evolved multiple times in different arthropod groups or
compound eyes have been lost in a seemingly inordinate number
of arthropod lineages

These scientists even admit that all this stuff is very unlikely to happen … ( it looks like there is something very very wrong with the evolutionary theory )
